There used to be a time when I would stubbornly refuse to ask for help, on any number of tasks. These days though I am happy to ask for help, whether it is editing, or slaying gremlins that live in my computer or a various number of activities.

Asking for help reminds us of our vulnerability and that we are part of a greater whole, a collective, a body, the body of Christ.

On this day of my lenten challenge I did ask for help. After spending the day running errands, doing some video taping for RENEW and installing a trailer hitch on my sweeties’ car, I rushed off to see the hockey game with a friend (Stratford Cullitons won 3-1!!). I missed a crucial stop.

So I asked Carolyn for help, to make a run to the LCBO to pick up a bottle of wine for after the game. I think it counts.
