Soak up the Son

Hey everyone! Today I had to work for Panera and I saw something weird. No for real first it started with one of my customers and she had like this black stuff on her forehead that looked like smeared mascara. I asked one of the girls about it and she said it was probably religious. Then I kept seeing people with the marking and some looked like round spots and others looked kinda like a cross. So as I was typing this post I decided to look for a picture on the net to kinda show you what I mean and I found this........
( In Ash Wednesday services churchgoers are marked on the forehead with a cross of ashes as a sign of penitence and mortality. The use of ashes, made by burning palm crosses from the previous Palm Sunday, is very symbolic.
.....Well after I read this I realized that today is Wednesday so I looked on the net again to see if today was Ash wednesday and what do you know... It is.. Well I think its all a little weird to me but it answered my question as to why all these people had smudges.

God our Father, you create us from the dust of the earth. Grant that these ashes may be for us a sign of our penitence, and a symbol of our mortality. Traditional Ash Wednesday prayer
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent for Western Christian churches. It's a day of penitence to clean the soul before the Lent fast. Roman Catholic, Anglican, and some other churches hold special services at which worshippers are marked with ashes as a symbol of death, and sorrow for sin. ).....Well after I read this I realized that today is Wednesday so I looked on the net again to see if today was Ash wednesday and what do you know...

One day after working for Ava I went down to the beach and took some pictures. It was such a pretty day. The weather was perfect. God is so good to give us so much beauty. I walked down near the water and there were a lot of birds. The sky was absolutly gorgeous and there were a ton of jelly fish washed up on the shore. I didn't stay real long but I enjoyed the little time I had with God and His creation.
*************************************
I have mention Ava twice and I know some of you are probably confused because you think I work at Panera Bakery Cafe... Well I do I work at Panera Bakery Cafe, Mon Delice Bakery, and Ava. Yes three jobs and people I still have a life. :) I started working for Panera but just recently I was offered a posistion of CareGiving for an elderly lady named Ava. I really enjoy that. Basically I am there to assist her and remind her of her medication and stuff like that. She is the sweetest lady. Anyways I have to drive to NSB for that job and it really wasn't worth my drive financially. But Mon Delice, the bakery Jennifer Johnson worked for before she moved away (miss ya Jen), told me that they would work me on days I was in town to make it worth my drive. So I agreed. I love working for Mon Delice. They are such nice people!! I love having more than one job. It makes for a very interesting life and I am constantly on the go. I really enjoy it. I didn't think I would, I thought I would want an office job but I don't know now. I am not saying I wouldn't accept it if a really good position was offered to me but I really am enjoying what life has thrown my way. The pics below are of Ava, me, and her cat, Dolly.
