Ash Wednesday

This year I am going to TRY to give up sweets (refined sugar) for the 40 days of Lent.  This may be the hardest to give up of anything I could have chosen!

In the past I have given up blogging, which was hard for me at that time.  I haven't been blogging so much lately, so I thought that was too easy.  It needs to be something that you would really miss.  Since I am a sweet-o-holic, I thought this would be the hardest thing for me.  Wish me luck and say a prayer that I will be able to do this, with God's help.

ASHES TO ASHES

I've never been that comfortable

With Ash Wednesday

With Lent

With self-examination and repentance

And being reminded of my mortality

But the one I follow was all about truth-telling

And justice

And righteousness

Rather than being comfortable

I am not that One

But I am made of clay and dust

Human to the core

May the ashes today

Remind me of my createdness

My calling to be who I am

Who I was crafted to be

Who I am becoming

As my heart, my mind, my clay is shaped

Molded by the Creator

I am yours, Loving God

Show me the way

Fun in the Music Store - In a Blue Mood

Monday we enjoyed some time at Mississippi Music in Flowood, MS.  I was fascinated with their Guitars, especially their Blue Guitars!

They had lots of blue drums, also!

Did I mention they have Guitars ? ?

Jeff is pointing out the one he wants for Christmas.

This is the one Jeep wants!

Looks like I need to 'save up' for this :)

They have drums....

and more drums...

Speakers anyone!  This is just a few of them.

I wouldn't want to leave these nice instruments out!

I'll end this fun day with a loud clang of the cymbals!  CLASH!

Nice store and nice people!
