I meditated this morning on the first reading for Ash Wednesday, Joel 2:12-18. God begs the whole community, "Come back to me with all your heart." I can't remember a Lent when I felt that we as both a church and as a nation needed to turn back to God. It's much easier to see how the leaders need to turn back than to see the responsibility that we also have for bringing about that turn.
