A member of one of the Missions attended Mass on Ash Wednesday and duly had the sign of the Cross traced on her forehead. It's a powerful symbol, reminding us of our mortality and the need for repentance as we "walk the way of the Cross" during Lent. After the service the parishioner went to Wal Mart to pick up supplies and, not being one to hide her faith, hadn't rubbed off the ashen Cross...

which evidently caused an uproar. A large man spotted the Cross and began to point and bellow, "The Mark of the Beast! The Mark of the Beast!" until he was taken out of the store by his partner.
The point of this story? Aside from the curious conversion of the minions of antichrist to the Cross? I'd say it was simple:
When there's no more room in Wal Mart the dead shall walk the earth.
But don't get me wrong, I like their cheap ammo.
Have a blessed Lent,
LSP
