Lenty Goodness!
ok, well here we are again! Ash Wednesday. The first of 40 days of atonement for whatever sins and shit we might have pulled over the past year...and preparing for cleanliness next to godliness at Easter. I'm heading over to Holy Name at 2 for a paraliturgy so's I can get my simulated gunshot wound painted on my head. Although, Holy Name's ashes aren't as dark nor do they have the staying power that OLPH's had, so it's not as much fun...
Sigh. You know, here I am, eating mac and cheese...remember, no meat today or on Fridays, and I've got a hitch in my giddyup over this whole thing. I don't think I've done that badly this year. If anything, there are certain parties who should maybe atone for THEIR treatment of yours truly.
Anyway, this year's Lenten Promises to Jesus are for my grandparents. They've had a rough time of it lately, and well, being Catholic means a lot to them. So, there you are. Add to that my brother's immenent departure to Africa and we have all sorts of things to pray for and be thankful for and whatnot.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!
Happy Ash Wednesday Everyone!
