Ashes are a sign of mortality and repentance. Remember that you are dust and to dust you will return. The season of Lent has begun. May those who observe have a time of reflection, renewal of spirit and self-denial. Peace to all in this time.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, communal prayer, reflection, and community. May all who celebrate be blessed by the spiritual connections that are made during his holy time of year.
Today is Shrove Tuesday, many know it as pancake day. In some Christian traditions, this holiday revolves around feasts, parties and parades before the observance of Lent begins. In the early ages of the Church, people took pancakes to the Church and ate them while they were waiting to be shrived. At my church we gathered to eat pancakes, enjoy company and have some fun. Our youth sponsored our event as a fundraiser for a summer trip where they will go to help the Appalachian Service Project.
I like my presidents to be free from felonies and other crimes. With that being said, here are my top 5 presidents in U.S. History and fictional presidents.

Top Five Prime Ministers
Hello Monday, we meet again. Let’s have the best day and week ahead possible, good people. Love and peace, kids.
When I was growing up the 886 prefix to my phone number was in my mind at the time a status symbol. It represented the community I grew up in, and we were a little “snobby” about it.
Fast-forward to today, it is a memory and those prefixes are going away due to people giving up their landlines. My youthful snobbery has gone, given over to growing up.
Your phone number is important because It’s how people can call and text you. It’s how we connect to the greater world. In my professional experience I can say there is more texting and less talking on the phone happens these days. Some folks are giving up smartphones in order to go back to voice conversation.
I remember the most famous phone number growing up was 867-5309 which was a song by Tommy Tutone. My favorite song about the telephone was “Hanging on the Telephone” by the group Blondie.
Yep, to make all that happen you need some digits that can connect you near and far. Reach out and touch someone as the old AT&T Bell System commercial once said. If someone calls you for help, be willing to say yes.
