Carnival Time Re-Post

Being in the beginning days of carnival season I thought it a good time to share my op-ed piece on Mardi Gras, For the New Pastor, Epiphany at Lent. This was my first "published" piece. I could not believe the response I received: emails from a former Lt. Gov. of Louisiana, folk who shared the same experience, friends, and a monk from Thailand. I even heard a mom's group at a Catholic church used it as a daily devotion with the words, "the Baptist gets it!"

Happy Carnival.
