Ash Wednesday

We have an Ash Wednesday service tonight.   The youth will be helping with the service.   I guess that is a good thing.   It is never too early, I suppose, to reflect upon one's mortality.   It is just that this year it is too real for me.   All day I have been thinking about Zach.  His ashes are in his bedroom still.      

His short journey is complete.

Ashes to ashes.  Dust to dust.

Yet life goes on.

  3. Love you all and thank you, Jim. It was a nice service and an honor to share it with the youth. Love the Whitman poem!
