As my Second Grade son Ben’s basketball game ended on Monday night, I swear that I heard the coach say, “See you on Wednesday night.”  I did not have a game listed for Ben on Wednesday (tonight), but I have been know to be wrong, so “Yep, see you Wednesday night,” I said with hesitant confidence.

So tonight rolled around.  Wednesday night.  Ash Wednesday night.  We pulled into the parking lot and well, unless there was some sort of “Basketball Surprise Party” planned, the lack of cars seemed to indicate that I was right the first time and no game was scheduled.

Looks like a single basketball would have won tonight’s game.

No worries, if we headed straight to church, we could still attend the Ash Wednesday services.

And that is how I ended up wearing my Minnesota Twins shirt to church, since I had left the house dressed to attend a basketball game.  Again, no worries.  You see the Twins lost Tuesday’s Spring Training game 19-0, so I figure they need the prayers.

The good news is that I happened to be wearing my “nice” Twins shirt.
