For those of you who haven't looked at a calendar, Facebook, or Google, today is Ash Wednesday, the Holyday beginning the 40 day season of Lent that leads up to Easter Sunday. It's a pretty big deal in the life of the church. This day is most memorable because it is the day that Christians everywhere "give up" something for Lent so that, through their suffering, they will become closer to the suffering Jesus went through before he died on the cross. I'm giving up meat. It's going to be tough, but I pray that I and all of the other folks who are giving up stuff for Lent remember the real reason that we are making such a small sacrifice.
In other news, it's only 52 days until the Royal Wedding.
Keep it classy Will and Kate. Keep it classy.
