There is a Time for Everything

The Good News Today Is...we are in the season of Lent. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. I'm saddened to say that I never thought of that once all day yesterday. What was I thinking....I was wrapped up in the piles of work on my desk, in grocery shopping and cooking dinner, doing dishes..and yes watching American Idol. So I missed Ash Wednesday altogether. Today I am repentant and feeling like a fool. I only remembered it was lent when I read this article at ChristianityToday.com; Stations of the Cross - Without the Cross. It is a good read. It is a reminder that there is a time and a season for everything. A time to do good works and a time to quietly worship God and allow God to do the good works. We do need to be careful that during the season of Lent we don't get so wrapped up in programs that we forget the crucifixion. We are in a season of remembering Christ and what Christ did for us on the cross. I may have forgotten ash Wednesday, but I don't plan on forgetting the cross.
