Brokenness & Transformation: A Lent Meditation

by Ken Life-on-life

Our old bathroom had two rooms: one for vanities, the other a toilet and tub. Dark and confining. Functional not inviting. Cheap white tile and brown stick-on linoleum, green walls, pickled cabinets, bisque porcelain. Displeasing dissonance. All must go. Potential: Could it be better? Brighter?
