Day 1
The beginning of Lent: Ash Wednesday

Genesis
"If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door: it desires to have you, but you must master it."
I thought that was really cool. Sin crouches in the shadows -- language, pride, etc.
But we must daily decide to master it so it does not have a chance to master us.
As that passage was in the first day of my reading -- and as Genesis is about beginnings --- even if sin does bite us in the butt --- Genesis reminds us that each day is a new beginning. A fresh start.
Most days, I need that assurance.
