A Serious Post

Wednesday starts the period of time leading up to Easter called Lent. I have been thinking, really since last year, of participating in this time. Why, you may ask. Isn't it a Catholic thing? Honestly, I have no idea. I know they partake, but to my knowledge many others do as well. Now I don't know what all is involved in this other than fasting from something. So here goes. For the Lenten season leading up to Easter I am going to abstain (impressed by my use of a big word) from any drinks that have flavor, basically aqua only, and from my middle of the day meal. Since the start of the year I have been on a Bible reading plan and right now I am four days behind, which is weird because I enjoy doing the reading but oftentimes I keep putting it off in favor of less productive things, so I will use the lunchtime to do my reading and reading. On Sundays I will eat at lunchtime because that is usually the only meal of the day. Now why am I writing this in a public forum? I dunno, thought I would share what I was thinking about. Also going in I know this is going to be extremely difficult because I like my coffee, but ultimately this will be more beneficial. Maybe. I'm not completely sold on it, but want to do it nonetheless.
