I have been working off and on all year to write a poem devotional called "Magnify God: 40 days of Praise." It started out originally being just a 30-day devotional idea, but changed my mind when I had more poems & scripture verses chosen for it, and ran out of days to put them on.
I didn't originally intend it to be a Lenten devotional either, but it's evolving into one. For those who don't know, Lent is the forty-days before Easter Sunday that honors the forty days Jesus was being tempted in the wilderness. People who practice Lent, usually fast for the forty days prior to Easter.
I'm not Jewish, but my church does practice it in some form. My church congregation doesn't just not eat food for forty days, but may choose to not watch TV, go on Facebook, give up chocolate, or coffee instead of food during the forty day period. The church also compiles, or gives out a daily devotional to read each day as a way to dig into the Word, and bring us closer to God.
Anyway, I have actually three devotional entries left to input into my manuscript, and seven left to write for a total of ten before I am done.
Maybe next year, "Magnify God" will be the Lenten devotional my church congregation chooses to read.
I have several projects on the back burner that I plan to work on next. I just have to figure out what one that will be still. One thing at a time, though!
