Where There's Fire, There's Wynham

When the new youth pastor at our church asked Wynham to burn the palm fronds that would create the ashes for use in Ash Wednesday services, I must admit I felt a certain dubiousness about how that might play out. Anyone who knows Wynham knows that it's wise to stand back, waaaay back, when he has matches, a lighter, or any other fire-provoking implement in his hands. There's just that particular gleam in his eyes...

Everything seemed to go smoothly until the flames were about three feet high -- that's when he decided to jump over the fire for everyone's amusement. "OKAY, that's eNOUGH!" said the rector. Talk about being in the hot seat!
