I grew up a latch key kid. Most nights I ate dinner alone. We had a TV in every room. I would get home from school and watch Good Times, Whats Happening, Full House and Threes Company. In the evening I would watch Night Rider, the Dukes of Hazzard and Hill street blues. Even in bed I would watch Johnny Carson as I went to sleep. At one point we even had a TV in the kitchen, it was just the culture I was raised in. This season for Lent I am not giving up Chocolate or Sodas... I am giving up my evening TV time, at least an hour of it for the next 40 days....but thats not the main idea, the main goal is to grow closer to Jesus over the next 40 days....so I will be engaging with God and turning my attention to Jesus. I will take that normal TV time and dedicate it to The Lord. I will take that time and memorize the Apostles Creed and some scripture and grow closer to God. Suddenly I am excited about this season!! And it starts now!! As I sit here with these ashes on my fore head reminding me that We are created from dust. Because of our sin, we will die, thus returning to dust. But God has done in Christ what we could not do for ourselves, taking the penalty of our sin and offering us the gift of new, eternal life. Amen
