Today is Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a sign of mourning and repentance to God. The ashes used are typically gathered after the palms from the previous year's Palm Sunday are burned. I will go and get my ashes this afternoon and begin my 40 days of fasting. My fasting won't necessarily be from any particular food, but it may be from something like being negative, Internet surfing, etc.
Are you observing Ash Wednesday?
Or....
Have you ever felt the need to purge something or someone from your life?
