Pastors! Theological types!

Quandry: my son wants his stuffed parrot to get ashes for #AshWednesday this morning. Or the stuffed dog. He is open.

Bring them all? Leave them? Either way, parenting needs to happen in about 30 minutes.

You beautiful creatures!!! So much wisdom here!! Ok here was the run down:

He decided against the parrot because the parrot has been known to have a “terrible attitude” and he was concerned it would peck people’s eyes out. That’s just good common sense.

The pastor was a theological ninja, dealing with the dog, the kid worried about ashes, and the rest of us piled in. YOU ARE GIFTS TO THE WORLD, you beautiful pushovers. We would all be impoverished without you.

So this is pretty much how it turned out. Ashes. Dust. Dog. Love.
