We are well into Lent and it is a hard one this year. Sometimes our sacrifices are not what we choose. God is with us, and we see His grace and light in so many ways.

Lent is going so much more quickly than normally for us, too. This year, we are going to have to make our Paschal feast more of a pot luck than we normally do, but I am looking forward to that celebration right now.

The vegan mousaka'a we made last week was fantastic, and I think I will write up how we made it and share it for you one of these days. I don't know when I will be able to share recipes. We are doing all we can to keep life going and normal right now, and still covet your prayers.
