Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return. The words we spoke tonight as we chose to wear ashes as a sign of our commitment to our Lenten journey. Not unusual words for Ash Wednesday but uncommon in the Church of Scotland. Sometimes its good to reclaim symbols and allow them to speak powerfully. To see them in a new light and be touched in new ways by God's spirit. So begins our contemplation of Jesus' sojourn in the wilderness. Will our Lenten discipline be one of denial or one of discovery ? Perhaps we will manage both. Donning ashes is a good place to start.
