Our Second Ash Wednesday

Psalm 51 I think this year the blog will reflect on the readings/events of the previous day of Lent. From a Church of Christ minister's perspective putting together an evening like Ash Wednesday presents its own difficulties because of our unfamiliarity with it as a tradition and the diversity of attendees as a range of visitors and members. At Oak Ridge, we've added the challenge of making it an inter-generational activity. I believe the challenges are worthwhile. Through the hour we spent together last night my thoughts and feelings swung from frustrated and disappointed to elated and surprised by Divine action. Smiley faces weren't what I anticipated being drawn on the paper. A twelve year old admitting that pride keeps him from admitting his wrongs exceeded my expectations. Please comment. What did you experience as a spiritually transformative moment last night? What do you think we should consider doing differently next year?
