It's Ash Wednesday, a nice follow-up to Fat Tuesday. hehe It's the start of Lent, too. I don't know that I've ever participated in Lent. It's always just seemed so trite to me. People giving up chocolate or coffee and then complaining for a month straight. What fun. There are very few people that I admire during this time that "do Lent" the way it should be done. These people don't make a spectacle out of it, but they do it in secret so only their Father sees. I respect that. To be honest, I'm not really sure what the ultimate point of Lent is...I suppose I'll have to find out. And why do people put ashes on their forhead today? Boy, am I ever the ignorant one. :-)
