March 6, 2019
As I placed ashes on the foreheads of the worshippers at Ash Wednesday service, I thought of the article in the Living Lutheran magazine by Pastor Tim Brown about coloring in the cross ("Just enough real estate" from the March, 2019 issue). He spoke about how the ashes “color in” the cross that was traced on our foreheads in baptism, making visible what usually is invisible, except to God.
Thinking about this gave me a new perspective as I said those ancient words: Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return. Quite a holy moment!
Blessings. And a holy Lenten journey to you!
