No Wash Out

It almost seemed that the weather was trying to wash out Ash Wednesday. Rain, snow, and wind combined with temperatures hoovering around zero made it bleak outside. It was, in a way, a fitting beginning to Lent.

Attendance was low--not many wanted to brave the weather. But no matter how bad it was, the black ashes were applied; they wouldn't be expunged by a little storm.

On with Lent.

Lent

Lent is so often associated with "giving up' things. Why not take on more? Why not spend more time in reflection or meditation? Why not spent more time reading or serving? Why not?

3 Things I Like About Lent

1. The hymns
2. Ash Wednesday Service
3. Fasting--I do.

Missing Kasey


Today the grass is really showing. Kasey loved the grass. On days like today, she would go out, sniff the grass, then just sit, her nose into the wind. It is too bad she didn't live long enough to be able to see today.

Here she is enjoying the sunshine--on the grass.
