Ok this is my first time to Blog ever (pause to take in this historic moment). At this point I don't have a ton of time or content to post however I wanted to break the ice.
How is the lent fast going?
Well I didn't spend that much time engaged in entertainment before the fast so I am not feeling a large surge of time or energy to focus on prayer. It feels more like a little poke in the back of my mind when I day dream about what I would rather be doing at that moment. I start thinking about how nice it would be to chill out on the coach with pop corn and a Lost DVD and then realize that oh I can't do that...oh yah I need to be praying. Karen and I are also cutting out excessive sugar, I know it sounds vague but she and I know what we mean, (no pop, sweets, supper sugary foods, but I have been putting a tiny bit of brown sugar on my oatmeal.) Anyway that has been helping me become aware of the ways my body gets addicted to stuff. It feels like I asking God to purify my heart by trying to reject some of the more addictive substances in my world. See you all tonight.
