First Sunday in Lent
A person visited a bar regularly and had the habit of ordering three beers. After several weeks of noticing this habit, the bartender asked the man why he always orders three beers. The man said, “I have two brothers who have moved away to different countries. We promised each other that as long as we are alive we would always order an extra two beers whenever we drank as a way of keeping up the family bond…”
Ash Wednesday
Every Ash Wednesday, we hear the same readings. While they’ve become familiar to me, this year, the readings from Isaiah and Matthew struck me more than ever before. You see, earlier today, Vicar Paisley and I stood outside in the cold and snow smearing ashes on people’s foreheads at the Damen blue line stop while others watched. Tonight, we gathered and heard Jesus say, “Beware of practicing your piety before others…” Well, crap. What were we doing out there? Should you all really come forward in a few moments to have ashes placed on your forehead? And, who picked this darn reading for tonight anyway?
