If you feel comfortable - head out to an ash wednesday service. Its an important "kick-off" for the Lenten season. I'm with you on growing up without an awareness of the Christian calendar. I realize the abuses that caused it to be wiped clean, but I'm also very interested in how God uses special events in our lives to shape us. Keep on kickin! Josh,
