Fat Tuesday
well here we are again. the beginning of the solemn period of introspection, sacrifice and self-denial that that catholics call Lent. traditionally, it is a time that the individual makes a personal sacrifice by giving up some indulgence that is favored in order to mirror that 40 day period that Jesus spent in the desert with out food. for most however it is a time to eat fish on fridays….
i am sure Jesus is proud…
i haven’t decided what i am giving up this year… maybe i’ll go the distance this year and instead of doing some token act i’ll take this time for what it really should mean…
or maybe i’ll get the fish sticks at lunch this friday….
