Lent started last week, with pancakes on Shrove Tuesday followed by Ash Wednesday - and now we have 6 weeks to prepare for the great celebration of Easter. We start this week's programme by asking how we might make best use of this time - should we be be 'giving up something' and just be grumpy for the whole of Lent? - or would it be better to look on these weeks as a chance to 'spring clean' our life - to ask God's forgiveness for the things we know we could have done better - to look again at our values and attitudes, and to think more deeply about our world, and our place in it.
