two quotes from yesterday:

"hold on, let me put it in your pants."

"we need some more woody back here."

watched bela fleck: the africa project last night. and sat next to a guy that smelled like.. athens. if you live here, you know what i'm talking about.

as if that wasn't bad enough, he TOOK HIS SHOES OFF. i am lucky to be alive.

In order to make the ashes for Ash Wednesday, the palm fronds from the previous year's Palm Sunday are burned and mixed with a little oil. And in this lies perhaps the most meaningful subtext of Ash Wednesday. If Palm Sunday represents our praise and adulation for God, Ash Wednesday represents the knowledge that that adulation has turned to dust—in a year's time we've forgotten Him, we've sinned against Him and fellow humans and most of all, we've made something great (our love for God) into something dirty. It's a powerful reminder to us of how quickly our hearts can turn from God—shouting "Hosanna" and worshiping Him as our Lord and King—to basically ignoring His existence.
