This is a brutal Ash Wednesday.
Destruction and evil are all around.
If anyone tells me that I came from ash & will return to it, I may laugh at them. Or cry & not stop. I hope I don’t hit the priest. Because - read the room people - we’re in ash up to our knees.

I find it difficult to face those who voted for this untethered man, fearing I will scream in anger and crumble in a pile of weeping.
Almighty God, help me rise from the ashes with purpose & resilience. Psalm 145:18

The celebrities who advertise hallow underscore its profitability and their silence to confront anti christ Trumpism underlines the solipsism of their signaling.
