I'm about to go to bed, but I should post something by way of observing Ash Wednesday. I attended an early morning service, "got ashed," knelt on a hardwood floor without support for considerably longer than I would have liked, and wondered if the Muslim style of prostration (head to the floor) would actually be more comfortable. Not the most deeply moving devotional experience, but then that's not the point.
Use the time you are given in this life
to do such deeds and accomplish such works
that on the day when your Heavenly Parents
throw open the door to welcome you home,
the three of you will rejoice together
in what you have done.
(Alma 34:32, freely rendered)
