Thoughts for Lent
"You
cannot be proud and expect to be transformed away from your sins. You need to
humble yourself and have a spirit of repentance within you. Then you will see
real change." -- Mable Vine
. "We all came from dust and
to dust we shall return. Even the greatest and the richest people of this
generation will be soon forgotten. Let us focus completely on God
almighty." -- Vernon Kane
“Some people think that having ash on your forehead is
ridiculous. But I am neither ashamed nor afraid because the ashes remind me
that I have to someday pass away and reunite with my creator.” -- Walter Buns
