The seasons go on, at their timeless pace.  It’s as Mark says, “…first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.”  In a nutshell, that’s what the season of Lent seems like.  A time of waiting, a time of growing and preparing to become something new and ripe and full.  After Shrove Tuesday on March 8th we will enter this season and walk with Jesus down that last road to Jerusalem.   Leslie+
