Ash Wednesday

Today, we had our Ash wednesday service at the church to kick off Lent. We sang several songs and then the pastor had a small sermon and then we all went up and they had ashes where they had burnt the palm branches from last year and the pastor or associate pastor puts ashes on your forehead in the sign of a cross, and this is the time you repent to God and focus on making things right with him, so you can start lent and get on the right foot, Lent is the 40 days until Easter, not counting Sundays, Lent is when you give up something to get closer to God. I'm giving up facebook and fried foods, we'll see how I do! I will let you all know! Happy Ash Wedneday!
