Ash Wednesday

ASH WEDNESDAY

We are reminded, "from dust we came and to dust we shall return."  

Today begins the 40 days of penance traditionally celebrated in the Catholic Church, and a tradition carried on by many Protestant communities as well.  We offer up something which we would do regularly, or even something which will cause some lack of comfort.  Many give up some sort of food product, and each time when we would have partaken in that food, our mind is brought to the reason we're doing this - to be mindful of THE Sacrifice Christ underwent for us.

We initially posted (click here) a plea for help for the Haitian people, especially those in and around Port au Prince.  While the death toll may not be as high as they initially (or the Haitian government still reports), there is still help needed.  Some specific needs are pointed out in the following USA Today article:
