This again is kind of a bad picture but I really like the meaning of it. At my school all week, there has been Freedom Week put on by FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). For all of you who do not know what FCA is, it is a time of fellowship in public schools across the country usually every Friday morning. We usually just worship and then a speaker comes up. It sounds kind of boring but it's actually really great because you get to meet some really nice people who share your beliefs. Yesterday, March 9th, the date that this picture was taken, was Ash Wednesday. I used to think that Ash Wednesday was just a holiday celebrated by Catholics but I've come to realize that it's much more than that. It is the day that marks the beginning of Lent, approximately 40 days before Easter and a time of sacrifice for Jesus. At FCA that morning, instead of doing the tradition of rubbing ashes on your forehead, they drew a cross on our hand, hence, the cross on my hand. (No duh)
