ash me what I know....



I actually learned last year that people mark their forehead on ash wednesday. I swear to god, I have neveer seen or heard of that practice....I was at work and I told a cowoker she had some black stuff on her forehead. she told me it was an ash wednesday mark. How could I have live almost 60 years and never heard of that?

seriously? ya ever heard of that whole Lent thang? I believe we even dallied in it when we went to that Presbyterian Church off N.Daughtery (where uncle Bill was deacon/elder).
Um, maybe you should have gone a little bit more....Also, it may have sunk in from dating a guy for seven years who had a BIG Catholic upbringing and the family was "into" it.
So, are you going to "give up" anything for the next 40 days?

I just like that you refer to Ash Wednesday as "that cathlic stuff" . . . where is Mags, our resident Cat-licker on this one.
