Twenty-nine people in a snug classroom for the Tuesday night meeting at Christ Church. That's large for that group, which normally runs 12-15 or so. Didn't help our usual meeting room was preempted by the CC Outreach Committee, busy divvying up grants to deserving social-service agencies.



Today is Mag's birthdy, and she is on the phone right now talking to one of my (our) old fratenity brothers, Lee C. in Florida. This is our time of the year in Florida, too, but we are hanging around Wilmington waiting for a real-estate commission or two. From what we hear from friends and family down there, the winter has been difficult for them too. A temperature in the 30s there is like a temperatures in single digits here!



Today is also Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent, and we are off to a Choral Eucharist at CC in a few minutes. Rather than give something up for Lent, I've decided to commit to contributing something in this space every day. I need to discipline!



Seems like Lent is awfully early this year; didn't the famous Ash Wednesday storm that decimated the Delaware and Maryland beaches occur during or just before the Ides of March?

Thought for the Day?

"A spiritual experience can be the realization that a life which once
seemed empty and devoid of meaning is now joyous and full. In my life
today, daily prayer and meditation, coupled with living the Twelve
Steps, has brought about an inner peace and feeling of belonging which
was missing when I was drinking."
