9:12a - my desert
For 40 days and 40 nights, Jesus wandered through the desert tempted by the devil.
Every year, for the same 40 days and 40 nights, Catholics celebrate Lent. The season of Lent is the most important time in the religous calendar, second only to Christmas. On the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday, Catholics anoint their heads with the ashes from burnt palms. This marks us for the beginning of lent. For 40 days we must sacrifice, in order to go through what Christ went through. Every Friday we are not allowed to eat meat, and we must also give up any sort of worldly pleasure.
This year I gave up McDonald's and picking on Jon.
They are not the most serious of sacrifices...but it is a sacrifice none the less.
You know....every year I feel like I don't give a big enough sacrifice. Maybe cuz it's true. Nothing can compare to the sacrifices Jesus made for my sins....so in light of that....giving up Big Macs and flicking my boyfriend seems kinda weird.
I'm gonna stick to it. It won't be hard.
I guess thats it.
