I hope to be here tonight! This is the first time for tennis that I’m actually praying it will rain tonight. I’m scheduled to play, but I REALLY want to go to my Lent service at church. I know, my priorities should be at church anyway, but I forgot it was Ash Wednesday today, and had to tell my captain ahead of time if I would miss a week, and I didn’t tell her I’d have to miss this match. So prayers for rain! It IS supposed to rain all day, according to the weather report. I sure hope they’re right!
I’ve decided to exercise, both physically and mentally, everyday of the forty days for Lent. My body needs this, and so does my spirit. What have y’all decided to do for Lent this year?
I have no idea….. I really need to think about this one.
I'm giving up diet coke!
Myers Park Methodist or Presbyterian?
Love this about exercising physically and mentally… my body and spirit need the same thing right now!
Hi! I am a longtime follower of your blog and have commented a few times. I also live in Charlotte. I was going to email you but couldn't find your email address. I have a question for you, a travel question about the NC mountians. If you could email me at pinkpolkadotaa@aol.com I would appreciate it! Thank you 🙂
I always forget about *adding* to my daily routine for Lent…this year I'm giving up sweets. Hoping to make it to the Ash Wednesday service tonight, too!
I hope it rains:)
Aww, hope it rains so you can make it to church! Our service conflicts with our daughter's bedtime so we will be at home tonight : (
i hope you made it!
Holy cow! I hope so to! That's amazing.
Hope you're doing wonderfully 🙂

Ash Wednesday mass, is one of my most favorite masses. Aside of Christmas mass I feel like it is one of the most inspirational and moving masses… at least in my parish it is! Hope you made it!
Hi! I just stumbled across your blog this morning!!! I am glad that I did because I see that we have quite a bit in common — I am a Georgia girl who married a NC guy — and I live in the mountains of NC now. We used to live in Belmont, and while I LOVE living in the mountains, I do miss all that Charlotte had to offer. I also have a love for Braves Baseball and Lilly Pulitzer. One of the things I miss most abot Charlotte is the large Lilly section at the Belk at South Park…..not that I have money to go buy anything. =)
That is an incredibly beautiful church, btw. What denomination is it? There aren't that many that do actual Ash Wednesday Services, so I was just wondering. =)
For Lent this year, I gave up meat. I also decided to put on praying for those who are hard to love.
Nice to meet you! I will be back again.
