2nd Day of Lent

Today I'm traveling, so this will be short.

Today, for me, is probably the hardest day of Lent, because it feels like a let down. In some strange way Ash Wednesday is always a great spiritual moment for me. In both the service yesterday morning and the service last night I felt the presence of the Christ in a very real way. Perhaps in the act of confession we find a deep thankfulness within us that some how resonates deep within the heart of Jesus. We often express our gratitude for the sacrifice of the Christ through words, or thoughts, or even by our actions. What if, though, the truest expression of our thankfulness to a self-sacrificing God is that we we sorry for the things that brought Him to that sacrifice?

PEACE
