Ash Wednesday. The beginning of our season of reflection and repentance as we move toward the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. For this season, I’ve felt the Lord nudging me to meditate on what it means to be crucified with Christ. Why? My life right now is a bit chaotic in several areas. I don’t like chaos.
