Father Snort

Brad Sullivan Ash Wednesday February 14, 2018 Emmanuel, Houston Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 Choosing to Love…Without All the Time in the World I was on Facebook this morning as I am every morning, about to start Morning Prayer, which I pray on Facebook so others can join in praying together, and as I was about to start, I noticed a friend’s updated status (a priest friend of mine). The status was a question and an answer. “So, do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day?” “I’m going to go to work and remind everyone of their inevitable death.” Happy Valentash Wednesday, everyone. I loved that status update because…well, I love that kind of humor, and because it is so true. Maybe a bit maudlin, I’ll grant you, but we really are here on Ash Wednesday to remind ourselves of our inevitable death, and of the hope that goes with it. We can only really come to that hope of life in
