Lent

When I was just a little kid, my friends (Roman Catholic) made a big deal about "lint." I, of course, thought they were talking about that stuff you find is your pockets or in your navel. The were always giving something for this "lint." They treated this season with a kind of reverence we didn't have at our church. In my later years, I've come to appreciate this 40 days before Easter when the days grow longer (Anglo-saxon, lenthening of days, or Lent)as a time of spiritual growth which calls us to take a good look at ourselves; our mortality, our failings and, in the light of these limits, turn to God in a new and healthy ways. Please join with us in this time of renewal.
