Dust you are...
Today is Ash Wednesday, the day that marks the beginning of the church season known as Lent. It's a season of 40 days that leads up to the celebration of Easter. (For all you math wizards out there who know there are 46 days until Easter, Sundays aren't technically included in the season, since each Sunday is essentially a mini-Easter - a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.) Lent is a time of reflection on God's Word, and getting honest before God about our sinfulness and need for a Saviour; it's a season of repentance.
I spent this Ash Wednesday trying not to hack up a lung and enduring the awful taste of Buckley's cough medicine. What a wonderful reminder of my own mortality and weakness. :)
