However, the fun and festivities of Mardis Gras shall soon be finished and the solemnity of Lent is close at hand.
Here is an illustration, to help you understand what lent is all about : http://www.ncregister.com/images/uploads...336416.jpg
It is where Jesus retreated to the desert to fast and commune closer to his father (who was also himself!)
During this lententide, we too are afforded the opprotunity to get close to the lord our God.
For this lent, I plan on giving up cookies, Ice cream, and using the internet recreationally. You may not see me on here for too much longer (except for Sundays. You can take those off )
How do you all plan to spend your lent? Made any "lenten resolutions?"
Please let me know. Blessings!!
Who do you think you are talking to?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
