“Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.”
I assisted with the imposition of ashes at the parish’s Ash Wednesday service. One of our more attractive parishioners has a curvy physique reminiscent of Joan Holloway on Mad Men.
After placing ashes on her forehead, I confess to watching her hips sway as she returned to the pew. For a brief moment, instead of concentrating on ministering to the body of Christ, all I could think was, “Christ, what a body!”
