Although it has been a relatively mild winter, today we are expecting snow! I hope that you are safe and warm inside, but that if you have to venture out into the weather, that you do so safely. I don't have my own thoughts to share with you this week, so here is a reading for today from "A Just Passion: A six-week Lenten reader," written by John Perkins:

I am pondering these words spoken during our Ash Wednesday service on Wednesday: “The journey of repentance is about “turning around” (the origin of the word) so that we might be in right relationship with God. In a sense, we are looking for love once again. When we look to God for love- not simply for the approval of others- and start with our own “turning,” we participate in the “turning around” of the world.”

It is less than a week until Ash Wednesday, and we have been busy preparing for Lent!
