"Remember That You Are Dust..."

"...and to dust you shall return." these are the words my pastor says to me as he makes the sign of the cross on my forehead every year at this time. jenny & i didn't observe ash wednesday until we attended the lutheran church. it's ALWAYS a sobering experience for me... the idea that we won't live forever, and that we should make the most of our time. it's cool when unnecessary distractions are suspended long enough for me to grasp that.
