No Lenten Loans. Only Giving Back.

My friend, Linda, mentioned late on Monday that Easter is early this year. I usually look at the present day, not too far ahead into the future. So I took note and checked the February 2016 calendar. Ash Wednesday is next week on February 10th, and a reminder: "Lent is not a time to make a loan and expect it returned in full after Easter Sunday."  This was my belief as a child when I attended church with a friend’s family. The Pastor used the word “Lent,” and the plate was passed. I placed my coins in the plate believing it was a loan.

Instead of lending during Lent, “What do you plan to give back?”
