It's crazy to think that Ash Wednesday is next week! It feels like we were just putting up our Christmas tree. But alas, it is coming - whether we are ready or not. I've been doing my normal "wonder what I should do for Lent this year?" This is always one of MANY discussions I have with students - Lent is a big deal around CCM. When I was young the answer to that question was so simple but as I get older it becomes more and more complicated. Every year I pick 3 things to do (prayer, fasting, almsgiving)... inevitably, I fail at at least one - usually two of them. So, this year - to keep my life easier and to make my Lent more about what God is doing than what I am doing ... I'm thinking about focusing on one big thing. Hmmm... I don't know. Thank goodness I have a week to decide.
On a different note- we are getting all geared up for the St. Michael Parish Dinner Dance. It is happening this Saturday night. Last year due to a lack of interest - we had to cancel...this year it is going to be a BLOWOUT! Cocos is catering it and we will have a wonderful DJ (Rusty Bowers - our Pastoral Council's Vice-Chair). So far (as of this morning) we had about 60 folks signed up! Tickets are on sale thru tomorrow at noon at the parish office. Single: $20, Couple: $35, NMU Student: $15. Come and Party!!!
