Ash Wednesday

I am not getting any better, so it is a short post tonight. This cold has settled down in my lungs, and it just won't leave me alone.

I took the kids to the Ash Wednesday service last night, and Jessica brought Daniel. I didn't want to get Daniel sick, so I tried to not breathe on him, but it was fun to watch him play with the phone and my necklace during the service. Then he went up and got his first ashes.

Kyle decided he wanted his ashes on his hand, but everybody else got them on their foreheads. Faith sang and Matt played the guitar during the service. The youth put the service together, and I think they did a really good job.

Tomorrow our church is hosting a Lay Witness Mission, so we will be there for the majority of the weekend. There are a lot of great activities planned for the weekend, so if you are local and would like to attend, please do.

I have some other fun pictures of the kids I will share in the next day or two. If I can't shake off the worst of this crud I will go to the doctor on Monday. In the meantime, have a great weekend and I will be back as soon as I can breathe without coughing for longer than a minute or two!
