Ash Wednesday

"Ash Wednesday is not Good Friday. It is not a day to focus on the cross so much as a time to begin to realize just how much we need the cross."


I found a really neat little devotional about "Ash Wednesday" that is worth sharing:

Even if you don't know much/anything about AshWeds and/or feel that is has little/no relevancy to your life, as you read that devotional, pause to consider the words....

"For you were made from dust,
     and to dust you will return."

"I have come from dust, and to dust I shall return. Thanks be to God, this is not the end of the story, but just the beginning, because God himself entered into my dustiness in Jesus Christ."



And, if you wanna read more about Lent (including Ash Wednesday), here's a great one: http://www.relevantmagazine.com/god/church/what-christians-get-wrong-about-lent

Out for now.....
