Today is Ash Wednesday 2015. My Lenten challenge is to read the Book of Psalms. There are 150 psalms. I will read three each day during Lent and through Easter and post my impressions. I will read the Psalms in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. I grew up with the 1928 prayer book and the beautiful Coverdale psalms (more about them later) but the current prayer book is what I read now at church. I will consult other versions, if I am so inclined.
A little background. I am a cradle Episcopalian who loves liturgy, church history and traditional hymns. That being said, I am politically and socially liberal. I do not find it incompatible to be a churchgoer and to be a liberal.
I have two grown children. I was widowed at the age of 45 and am now undergoing treatment for leukemia.
Okay. Here we go.
