Ash Wednesday Lectionary Nuggets, Year C, February 10, 2016
Here we go again! The 40 days of Lent are upon us and so, too, will be the ashen crosses on our forehead that mark this beginning.

February 9, 2014
What do the words of Jesus and the Prophet have to say to us about discipleship this week? Plenty!
