A blessed Ash Wednesday...

Just concluded a blessed Ash Wednesday gathering... lots of humble and honest conversation, lovely and gentle music and a fun and celebrative Holy Communion. Then I packed and repacked for my trip to NYC and Ohio. Seems I just don't have room for my PC so... I will use my daughter's when I can but I guess part of my Lenten fast will involve being away from the Internet. Not all bad....

After I get into Manhattan tomorrow I will be heading up to St. John the Divine (where this picture was taken in the children's garden) for evening prayer before a night with Nicholas Wolterstorff and others at the IAM conference. I will never forget going to evening prayer one night at the National Cathedral and it was just me... and the priest. So we sang evening prayer to one another and God and then went out for a beer. What a blessing.

Be well, dear friends, I will check in when I can.
