You see I was sitting in church today thinking about Donkey Chocolate. Well that is not exactly true. It was after the first reading I started to think about Donkey Chocolate.
Thus says the LORD:
Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion,
shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king shall come to you;
a just savior is he,
meek, and riding on an ass,
on a colt, the foal of an ass.
Now I wondered. Did they make chocolate form that ass's milk? Did they even have chocolate back then? Where does chocolate come from? The colt was the foal of the ass but is the candy bar the tasty treat from an ass? Am I being an ass? Should I pay more attention instead of thinking about chocolate?
The answer to the the last question was yes.
Today was the first Sunday in Ordinary Time. Father Chris spoke about Ordinary Time and how he had to wear the same vestments all through it until November. He had worn Red last Sunday and someone said he should wear that color more often. He talked about Ordinary time and how it was a long stretch until Advent.
When Mass was over everyone lines up to say thank you and goodbye. It is your chance to interact with Father. So when it was my turn I said "I love ordinary time. Now every thing is back to ordinary. I can go to Mass and do the normal things I do on a normal Sunday. Don't knock ordinary time until you lose it. Then you will really miss it."
