Most people know that the Bible talks about sackcloth and ashes frequently, correct?

Matthew 6:16-18 would be one.

Yes, but that is used in the context of repentance, grief and mourning. I have already repented, I have no grief and am not in mourning - my sins are forgiven and my Lord is Risen! :-)

The bible also talks about sitting on manure heaps and scraping yourself with a pottery shard.

if given a choice I would take the ashes.
