Well, today is Ash Wednesday!
So, for those of you who will be choosing to fast from something for the next 40 odd days I wish you nothing but the best. I hope you (and I) will be be challenged, strengthened, and encouraged.
And to get you thinking here is a stanza from T. S. Eliot's poem, "Ash Wednesday":
And pray to God to have mercy upon us
And pray that I may forget
These matters that with myself I too much discuss
Too much explain
Because I do not hope to turn again
Let these words answer
For what is done, not to be done again
May the judgement not be too heavy upon us
And I only mention this because it may effect you as a reader of this blog, but a part of what I will be fasting from will be all things blog related. Obviously, that will include this blog, so don't anticipate any new posts until after we celebrate the resurrection!
