Lent rolls in on a Wednesday

Japan
February 25, 2020 11:11pm CST
Today is Ash Wednesday. Are you doing something for Lent? I usually do something positive instead of giving something up, but this year I'm giving up time on a couple of games and websites that are not conducive to good spiritual growth and spending that time on positive interactions (such as myLot) and contributions instead. I plan to make sure I spend time reading Scripture both morning and evening instead of just morning. I'll let you know how it goes!

That makes sense. I have had a very peaceful day in terms of not doing earning sites. I think it is helping with my priorities!

We don't have this here, but me as a Christian maybe I will give a little penitence such as no soda until next month.

No soda, oh my! Actually that might be good for your body too! One year I gave up milk tea and it was so hard, but I like sugar in my milk tea and by the time Lent was over I didn't crave it. Now I still make milk tea but with no sugar and it's fine.

It's my bad not to celebrate it today. I'm so busy dealing with many things here.

We completely forgot about Shrove Tuesday so we had to have our pancakes tonight.

@petatonicsca We rarely miss Shrove Tuesday but it slipped our mind this year.

Lol, that's probably illegal... but I might have some too. I had a galette on Shrove Tuesday simply because a friend had made some and gave me a couple.

I also read Scriptures. They are indeed the bread of life as far as our spiritual well-being is concerned.

Scriptures are my solid rock to stand on.
