In Lent 2013 I began a discipline inspired by Rethink Church a website of the United Methodist Church. While I didn't make it through Lent I really enjoyed the challenge. Rethink Church has brought back the Photo-A-Day challenge. So once again I am inspired to take on the Advent Photo-A-Day (click the link to learn more about it) challenge.

Today's Word is "Go"...
