It’s difficult for me to think of Lent without being reminded of the Day of Atonement (Lev. 16). Both center around self-denial and repentance. Both, as I see it, are intended to effect reconciliation with God by first reconnecting us to our humanity, particularly, in the case of Lent, on Ash Wednesday.

What is a two-letter word that we often don’t like to hear? It is a word you have probably used on your kids, maybe a word used toward your dog, and even to your friends. The word I am talking about is "No." 

Phones are a huge blessing in the realm of communication. We can talk to someone who lives thousands of miles away and it is like they are in the room next to us. Yet we all have received a phone call from a random number that turns out to be a scam.
