Here's this week's word...in honor of today being
Ash Wednesday, a day of repentance and confession leading into Lent.
"dustification" - The process of realizing that we are not the center of the universe - God is. We were created from dust and were it not for His grace we would have no hope of anything more. Yet because of His grace, dust is the stuff of glory.
For those of you not familiar with Lent or Ash Wednesday, you may want to check out
this. For some assistance in this process of
"dustification" you may find it helpful to take some time today in silence and prayer to refocus. I especially like this prayer from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer...
Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
