Lent

 Not going to write much about Lent.  Simply this.  Lent is like the work of restoring a treasured work of art, working carefully and diligently to bring out the beauty of what was originally created.  You and I are the works of art.  The restoration is done by the Artist.  Since we are not an inanimate object, like works of art are, the Artist works at the request of the work of art.   For your homework, Luke 7:36-50.
