Today is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent.  Symbolized by the imprint of ashes on our forehead, to remind us that from dust we came, and to dust we will return.

Somebody at the office: “I saw on the news, a place where people can get ashes in a drive-thru!”

Me:  “Well I guess the next thing will be confessions via Skype!”

Somebody at the office:  “Hold on a second, father, I have a call coming in.”

Me:  “That’s gonna increase your penance!”
