First Thursday in Lent

reminded multiple ways
on social media of the 
time-out chair waiting if i let 
an 'alleluia' slip out in worship,
making sure my sackcloth
garments are roughened enough
to chafe my arms and legs and tight
enough so i always am stiff-necked,
sent the notice from the Guild
of Cranky Calvinists to not let
any sweets or energy drinks
show up at coffee hour after church,

"yet I will rejoice in the LORD;
   I will exult in the God of my salvation." Habakkuk 3:18
