8th Day of Lent
Word of the Day: Evil
Bob Medema, the owner of the Emporium, was murdered last August.
He was a friend of my father’s and was dear to our hearts. I loved to see them talk animatedly with one another, joking, sharing their identical political views, and laughing. Both men are gone from this earth to a better place. Where my dad passed away from an illness fairly quickly, Bob’s life was stolen by thieves seeking money. There’s another evil, in addition to murder, money. Bob’s life was more valuable than any money those thieves could have gained.

Word of the Day: Wonder
On my first day of biology in High School, the teacher said he could teach us many things, but he couldn’t teach us how the human being stands on two feet. If we believed in God, we had our answer. If not, there is no answer.
Since then, I often wonder of His many creations. Humans and birds waddling around on merely two feet, birds with feathers, cats with hair, and moose who hold their heads up with those giant antlers. God is a Wonder and Delight to me.

Word of the Day: Injustice
What is injustice? Is it a crime? Is it loss? Is it violation of your rights? Is it a violation of the rights of another?

1st Day of Lent 2013
Ash Wednesday: Got Ashes?
Today is the first day of Lent. In honor of this time in the Christian year, this blog will be for Lent Devotions until Easter Sunday, March 31st. The United Methodist Church has a Lent Photo-a-Day recommendation in honor of Rethinking Church based on keywords.
Today’s word (okay, it’s really a phrase) is “Who am I?”
Who I am is a person continuing on her faith journey. What does faith mean? Am I faithful to God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit? Perhaps I will find out in the next few weeks.
Today I was able to walk over to Bronson Park and receive the blessing of ashes from Pastor Matt. From ashes we have come, and from ashes we shall all return.
I would enjoy hearing if you are also on a journey for Lent and what you’re doing at this time.
