"Remember you are dust and to dust you shall return."
We begin at our baptism.
The end comes with our funeral.
No one knows the distance between the first and the last.
Today we pinch our lives somewhere in the middle of it all
and bring the water of our baptism
to touch the anointing of our death.
And we remember.
God has claimed us in love.
Christ's death will carry us into a new life.
An ashen cross, a gift of life.
Confession and deep, deep gratitude.
Amen
