This Is The Ash Wednesday
Yes, I am speaking later on today. I’m a little nervous, but I figure if I keep practicing, I’ll be okay.
Today is the first day of Lent and I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s supposed to be a time for me to feel more connected to God, but I can’t figure out what to do. Some people give up this and that, but what am I willing to give up? I don’t really do anything in particular excess that I’m completely ashamed about or that I figure will help me through these 40-odd days, so what do I do?
I know!
Each day, I will light a candle (I need to go buy an unscented one or something) and with that lighted candle, spend more time with God.
Well, I guess I figured it out after all. I owe it all to the nice pink rose-smelling candle on my desk. Now the inner pyromaniac in me gets to do something for 40 days straight.
