Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with WFTD.
Much more courageous, politically, than his father, Franklin Graham is not willing to shrive Obama's sins. I was tremendously impressed with his answers yesterday on Morning Joe, and hope he's not backtracking today. Of course, lefties are having the opposite reaction and saying he's NOT his dad, as if that's a bad thing. Billy gave cover to lots of lefties, Franklin appears to "get it" and isn't willing to do so.
Mik will recognize this word from his page-a-day email which he was kind enough to share with me. Happy Ash Wednesday everyone, time to be shriven!

Successful? Barack wants to shrive
How dare you work hard and then thrive?
Raise the tax for the rich
Try to make life a bitch
For one percenters who are daring to strive
Shrive
(past plupurple tense of shrove)
Ash Wednesday? Sounds like wife #2 trying to thaw t.v. dinners. Trying to shrive down what she tortured with fire and called cooked mighta been penance but who lives long enough to need that much penance?
Shrives imposed yesterday don’t count for the 2012 Easter Season. The 2012 Season of Fasting and Penance starts today (in the Western Church) when we seek to be shriven by our priests. So, why is yesterday called Shrove Tuesday? Is that for all the 2011 shrives which arw now in the past tense? I’m so confused, and I forgot to eat my pancakes before midnight.
The thought has just occurred, why doesn’t IHOP capitalize on Shrove Tuesday? Is that because people have strayed so far from those traditions that not enough of them would understand the meaning? Or is that because IHOP thinks that their business would dry up on Wednesday, and they would be fasting for the rest of the season?
Found a parish near work that is having what they call a “Continuous Ash Service” from noon to one today. Just show up, no need to sit thru one of those there lengthy masses, and get your forehead ashed. If they made it even more convenient, say to where you need not even leave your car - would that be a Shrive-Thru?
Isaiah tells us that fasting without changing our behavior is not pleasing to God:
“This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own” (Is 58:6-7).
