Ash Wednesday


Here is an article that Charles wrote for the Southeast Alaska Catholic, the Diocese of Juneau's newspaper:


What he says about Lent is better than anything I could come up with.

We are pulling in our horns a bit, becoming more reflective, quieting things down, and getting ready.

The blog posts will be less frequent over the next few weeks.  Please keep me in your prayers, and I will be praying for all of you as well.

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.
