Today is Ash Wednesday. The first day of Lent.
I have contemplated what practices I might add or things I might let go for this season, and as I did so, I kept coming back to this:
The United Methodist Church's "ReThink Church" campaign.
At first, I thought it seemed silly. Like an excuse to use social media more during Lent.
But then I read the topics more closely. and I thought: what an opportunity. Because in a photograph, it not only invites creativity, but requires a greater deal of reflection on each of them than I might offer on any other day.
Take, for example: today. All day I thought about this question and how I might depict it honestly....
The same words rolled over and over again in my head...
From dust you came, and to dust you shall return.
But what does that even mean?
For me, today, it means that I am nothing without the God who knit me in my mother's womb.
I am nothing without the God who feeds my soul
and makes life worth living.
I am nothing.
Who am I?
I am dust.
