Today is Shrove Tuesday - pancake day and a day that marks the start of Lent.
It is traditional for people to give something up for Lent, but so far I have not come up with anything, but I have signed up for inspiration from a couple of sources.
Tearfund are encouraging people to cut back on carbon for Lent. They have called it their Carbon fast. You can find out more at http://www.tearfund.org/carbonfast,
on Twitter http://twitter.com/badgerspotting.
and Facebook. You can sign up for e-mails which will give you an action to do each day which will help reduce the amount of carbon you are using.
The Church of England is also running the Love Life Live Lent campaign again. It is similar to Tearfund's although broader it the actions. Find out more here www.livelent.net at Twitter http://twitter.com/c_of_e and Facebook http://apps.facebook.com/love-life-live-lent.
There is also the 24-7 Prayer Room on the High Street. The last time it was run, the response - both humanbeing and spiritual, was phenominal. It is an amazing undertaking, 40 days on none-stop prayer and the village is blessed for it. Those taking part talked about the blessing they received, so if you are popping by why not pop in.
Over the next fw days I will be finding out just what Twitter does - let me know if you already know!
All the best
Jonathan
