And so the long green season begins...

...and when it arrives, I always welcome it.  "He has made everything beautiful in its time." Ecc. 3:11  And so, yes, the return to "normal" in the Church Year is a beautiful thing to me.

Speaking of which:  Don't forget that the Treasury returns today to Civil Calendar (and will stay on it till next Ash Wednesday, which is extraordinarily late:  March 9.  That means, Jimbo, that you get your wish next year to finish Job's story, God willing).

actually, even next year you need to double up on readings for Ash Wednesday to get Job 42 (the latest Ash Wednesday can be is March 10)

The long green season doesn't have to begin until next Monday. . . .

Well, unless you're Eastern, where it is so late it hasn't happened yet. Lent begins on Clean Monday.

Well they call it clean Monday -- nah, it'll never make it as a Blues.
