It is hard to believe, but this blog is 10 years old and counting! I have been involved with ministry and technology for a long time. I have sought to document my experience with various aspects and topics about that involvement here, so that you can gain from it. Topics have ranged from Information Technology to how to Welcome Visitors. I hope that you have found these pages of interest.

I am both a man of grace and an optimist. I believe in Christ, and I know that He guides my steps. And I look forward to the future with Hope and Grace. May we all be found in Heaven one day. If that happens within the next 10 years, then Hallelujah! If not, then I’ll keep blogging about it until we do.

May God grant you grace and mercy this day!

Traditionally, the Ash Wednesday service comes with an emphasis on repentance and silence. Why be silent? Why not have someone reading scriptures during the imposition of the ashes? That way, those still in their pews will have something to focus on as they pray.

Many Churches hold an Ash Wednesday service. It marks the beginning of Lent, which is traditionally symbolized by the color purple. During this service, people are reminded of their need for repentance. The ashes are traditionally taken from burning the Christmas Tree. The imposition of the ashes is a reminder that we are all mortal and in need of Christ’s forgiveness and grace.
