Something in today’s readings that caught my attention and froze me today, possibly in answer to a childish cry, why must things be so difficult.

 Also, strangely enough, found the nail they handed out to us all on Ash Wednesday, and ugly metal thing I hadn’t seen in at least ten, maybe more, weeks.
