I too might be able to use your reflection in our church bulletin. But in my case I would have to have it by 11:00 a.m. Tuesday! (I have to submit copy by 12:00 noon)… Is that too much to ask?

For the rest of Lent, we’ll be posting the reflection for the upcoming Sunday on Wednesdays. Does that help?

Thanks,
Johnny

However, my bulletin is produced Tuesday/Wednesday of each week & so reading this reflection I am already behind one week. Is it possible to get 2nd week of lent by Tuesday, Feb 28? Would all the weeks of Lent be available now? Peace & Blessings, Loretta

Thank you for sharing it with all of us. The ashes of your brother along with the ashes of all those who have died along with him have blessed us all and inspired our nation. As you reminded us in your reflection we are all simply ashes but our souls will bask in the love of God for all eternity. We must live in the “now”. May this lenten season enable us to identify those things that keep us from the love of God.

And again i have even mentioned to a Comcast Telephone Operator from the Philippines – for we feel so desperate that so many leaders of American Foreign Policy do not mind this sell – out …..that our State Department seems more interested in Russian & Chinese welfare than the best interests of U.S. Citizens or any others – for that matter ……..franknkissy

Body returns to dust but spirit lives on in the promise of resurrection and new life. Lent is a season to change many things in ourselves which are not pleasing to GOD and come closer to HIM.

It is one of fondest sayings. I also went through a period of loss in 1988-89, Two brothers in their Fifty’s three days before Christnas and then my Mother the following year. I truly believe that God decided that that my mother had enough grief and that she really did not need an operation and took her to heaven while the doctor was talking to her abou the preedure. She was 89. Yes she and my sibylins are with me where ever I am.
