Shoulda posted yesterday or before....
Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday....while still fun its lost its flavor excess and debauchery in preparation for fasting...funny how we grow out of things.
Lent has changed as well. For me the old making it through 40 days without something...and then going right back to it just doesn't make sense.
Today I use it as a spring board for personal growth. Utilize the 40 days to give up some negative aspect or negative thinking with the goal of leaving it behind forever...
Go through 40 days of the Paul, 'I die daily' on some subject so at the other end we can resurrect the new me and not have to carry that cross any longer...
So tis judgement on the top of the list this year for me....how about you?
