Breaking the ice

Not bad for a New Year's Resolution. I promised myself I'd start a blog this year, and nearly made it through a quarter of a year before starting. I can make lots of excuses why it took so long, and this year in particular. But seeing as I've started a journal, and seeing Saturday's Age carried an article on blogging, I'm off and running. Hopefully I don't stall.

I've been reflecting a lot through Lent about what it meant for Jesus to be human. Maybe it's because of where I've been at lately, but it occurs to me that the mental anguish He went through in the Garden of Gethsemene as he prayed was very real, and in it's own way as painful as the crucifixion itself.

So there we are. A thought on Maundy Thursday.
