be not afraid

i was awakened by my phone's message tone this morning.  i didn't feel like getting up yet but i did because we have provincial activities today and i wanted to be sure the text did not come from our personnel at the sites.

well, what do you know,  the message was:

ashes to ashes
dust to dust...

we are dust
and to dust we shall return!...

magandang morning...

first thought that came to sleepy me was, 'yikes, so morbid.  is this a death threat???'  but then there was 'good morning' so it couldn't be that bad.  back to bed i went.

later my mom reminds me that it is ash wednesday.  ooops, ha-ha-ha... i forgot... that explains why...
