A point of interest... Riding in on a horse is a sign of glory, pride and victory - yet Jesus rides in on an ass (a donkey, or a colt - the foal of a donkey) as a sign of humility - AND - in fulfillment of the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9!
Palm Sunday - the LAST WEEK of Lent! Palm Sunday begins Holy Week - the week which changed the world! No other week in history has had as profound affect on history as Holy Week. Just another thought to meditate upon this week.
So get your palm fronds this Palm Sunday - and save them! Put them hanging out from behind a picture or crucifix and save them till next year. Why? A week or two before next Ash Wednesday you bring them back to church and turn them in - and they are burned to make the ashes for Ash Wednesday!
Some get rather creative with the palm frond folding, take a look at these samples:

I have no control over which messages get caught in the spam filter and those that do must wait for me to mark them as "not spam." A message caught by the spam filter may show up for a moment, making you think it posted, and then disappear. Do not assume I have deleted your comment, it's probably just the spam filter and it will show up.
