This is the year of 2024 and it happens that this year, Ash Wednesday is also Valentines Day.  Recently, my husband, Ron Gould and I were swimming at the Boardman YMCA pool and I noticed something on the wall ahead that said, “Love is not February 14, Love is John 3-16”.  So I came home and checked the Holy Bible which said, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son that who ever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”…  some thoughtful words to reflect upon as we go about our busy lives this Lenten Season.
