Ash Wednesday: A New Start

I felt this would be a much more appropriate place for my daily verses than my other blog. Forgive me for it being so incredibly long since posting. I still exercise nearly every day and God is there in my life every day. This season of Lent will hopefully get me back into diving into my relationship with Him more fully.

Tonight at Ash Distribution, there was a great Gospel, which pulling out my Bible afterward, I had actually underlined from past readings. I love it when that happens!

John 6:1-8, 16-18.

The past few days on the Book of Face I've seen all these people posting about what they should give up for Lent or how they're giving up FB. For some reason this didn't sit well with me and upon hearing tonight's Gospel it clicked. "Do not blow a trumpet before you." It makes perfect sense. In today's society, social media outlets are our main source for connecting people. For some reason there is this innate desire to share everything with everyone. I'm not sure that this is what He wants from us. Our church had a session on "What Jesus would have Facebooked" the other day and that does pose an interesting question. There is one thing we know and that is that He would and does love us unconditionally & there is comfort in that thought.

Happy Lent!
