Last night I had to opportunity to sing at the Ash Wednesday service at my church here in Indy.
Boy have we missed out!
We read scripture from Joel 2 (see below)
Blow the trumpet in Zion;
sound the alarm on my holy hill.
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the LORD is coming.
And we had several readings, my favorite was:
LORD, JESUS CHRIST, IF WE HAVE LOOKED OR LONGED FOR AN EASIER GOSPEL, A LIGHTER CROSS, A LESS DEMANDING SAVIOR, THEN TURN OUR EYES AND AVERT OUR LONGING FROM WHAT WE WANT TO CHOOSE TO THE ONE WHO HAS CHOSEN US.
I pray that I remember that God has chosen me, my successes and my short-comings, he demands me....just as I am....ashes.
