I tried not to be insulted, but how dumb do they think I am?
It was just days into the New Year and I knew full well that
starting an exercise program was a good idea.
I also already knew that walking was good exercise. Then the teenage actor looked into the camera
lens and, with all sincerity, announced a genius strategy to make exercise more
enjoyable: listen to music while walking!
Seriously?! He smiled as if he
and his little ipod just invented the latest and greatest fad. Nope, that credit goes to my generation. We called it a “Walkman!”
Last Wednesday night, I was reminded of that exercise public
service announcement as we took our first steps on the Lenten journey. The songs provided a beautiful sound track to
walk through worship. With tender tone
and thoughtful lyrics, they inspired me to be faithful in the disciplined
journey through the Lenten season.
This year, I’ll share my walking music with you for the
Lenten Journey. Listen in and share how
these songs inspire you to focus on intimacy with God the Father, Son and
Spirit as we walk toward the cross and empty tomb.
This first song puts me in a posture of humble learning: "Holy Spirit, living breath of God, breathe new life into my willing soul." Make me ready and willing to be changed and moved, "lead us on the road of sacrifice."

Lenten walking is a good idea. Listening to good music can make our journey more meaningful. Tell me how this song helps those first few steps of the walk.
