On Ash Wednesday...

...I began the day at home with the Book of Common Prayer office for the day: 
"Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness; according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offenses."  Psalm 2:1

...had a great season of prayer for the needs of Dove Mountain Church members with Elder Mike Ward.
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20

...participated in a thoughtful and fruitful discussion withthe other elders of Dove Mountain Church about how/where/in what manner God has called us to be His church.
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."  I Peter 2:9

...prayed with the staff of Dove Mountain church for church leaders.
"Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:"  II Thessalonians 3:1

...observed healthy three-generational  interaction between mother, daughter, and granddaughter as I ate breakfast at the Johnson household

....and all this was before I spent several hours at the Santorum rally,

...graded thirty-six student composition books,

...and refereed a lively Libertarian vs. Republican debate at my weekly men's group called Choir Practice.

Lent is off to a good start.
