So what does this mean? The last 2-3 days the thing that I am giving up for Lent...well, it has not really been made available to me. What is with that?
Is this God helping me to ease out by making it kind of a non-event beforehand? I don't know.
It's kind of like going on a diet and saying that you are going to have the one big final ice cream blowout and your heater goes out and the temp drops to 25 degrees...it's not that you couldn't have it, but the situation is not lending itself to it. Not sure whether to feel relieved or shorted.
So during this time from Wednesday February 21 to Sunday April 8, I am going to really work on projects that are the underlying physical reasons why my weeks don't go smoothly...Not the surface stuff that we all try to keep up with every day, but the stuff that I never seem to have time for. My theory is that if I get all that cleared out, the day to day stuff should be easy to do, and having my Sundays should be a natural result. I probably should get one of those big dumpsters to set in front of my house...but I'm not going to.:-).
I am also planning to read the New Testament through during Lent...actually I got a set of CDs...I think they are in MP3 format, from KLOVE radio station at Christmas...and they have broken down the New Testament into 40 days of readings. 25 minutes a day I think. I've never listened to the Bible that way, so it should be interesting.
Thanks for reading...I'll be back tomorrow for the final prep.
