ashes

Yes, today is or was ash wednesday and I went to church today to receive the ashes because they are a reminder that we are mortals and with them a period of cleansing begins. After receiving ashes, the father mentioned that with them we take a stand and we are true to Jesus and God. I would like to think that if Jesus were to come to our world again, I would stand and say I believe in him, I however know that social taboos and the fear of being laughed at or looked upon as crazy would make it harder to do so, but I do believe in a higher power and divinity.
I went to blockbuster after mass, and the cashier kept on staring at me while ringing up the movies and all and I couldn't figure out why, until I walked out and saw my reflection on the glass door and realized that I had a giant cross on my forehead...damn proud!
ta-ta for now
