Jack’s Winning Words  2/26/20
“Today is Ash Wednesday, so don’t tell people that their foreheads are dirty.”  (Anon)  “From dust you have come; to dust you shall return” are the words spoken by the pastor to the Ash Wednesday worshipper.  The hit song by Kansas puts it: “Nothing lasts forever…All we are is dust in the wind.”  …but we humans are more than dust; we have a soul, a spiritual connection with our creator God.  “I am more than dust!”  Think about that today!   ;-)  Jack

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  But or dust is temporary.  We will be raised again!  I’m sure there’s no dust in Heaven!===JACK: ....not even gold dust?

FROM TAMPA SHIRL:  Yes I plan to go to noon Mass!===JACK:  One of the local churches is offering drive thru ashes.,  I don't Catholic Churches do that.

FROM BLAZING OAKS:  Ash Wed. brought another snow storm to our area; My Bridge luncheon (and schools) all canceled, and evening service in doubt. It's difficult to imagine "living" without a body, and continuing to exist as an immortal soul...But I'm sure if Jesus has prepared a place for us, we will love being there with Him. That's our faith and our Hope! I wonder if we'll remember ===JACK:  Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered the mind of people what God has prepared.......and yet we continue to wonder.
aving earthly bodies??! Something to ponder...

FROM DR J:  Does this have something to do with Ashes, Ashes, we all fall down!?===JACK:  Not really, but "ring around the rosey has to do with the Black Plague and the read rash which had a ring around it.  Not a nice background for a children's game. 


FROM CL:  I have thought about saying that many times!  lol===JACK:  It is a chilling thought when the ashes are placed on your forehead with those words.
