Ash Wednesday

I need Lent. I need once again to journey into the desert to see if my life reflects the life of Jesus. My intellectual understandings of faith need more direction by the heart, a heart that needs to reveal its fear, anger, hurt and doubt to God. I need to know God's grace as I bow at the cross. So, I enter into Lent with expectations, but also knowing that I must wrestle with my sinful humanity if I am truly to know the risen Christ.

We pack Lent with so many things. It seems we need, I need, to do away with somethings to create a desert in which to seek God's face.
