When it comes to the Christian practice of Lent, I consider myself about as much of an expert as a kindergartner in calculus. I grew up in a non-denominational, contemporary Christian church right in the middle of the Bible belt. Although Easter was a highlight of our holiday year, Lent was not. In fact, to my knowledge, lint was that fuzz you pull out of the dryer when your laundry is done. And a lint-en practice was faithfully cleaning the filter after each load. I confess I attempted to wipe a friend's forehead clean on Ash Wednesday more than once. I thought they smudged their makeup, not attended a church service. Like I said, a kindergartner. |
