Well lent is upon us, and once again I’m thinking about what I should do or not do this year. For many years I gave up things. Then I didn’t participate at all. Last year, I followed a Lenten reading and read the New Testament in 40 days. Incredible feet for me.
So this year I’m choosing to read again and follow the Lenten plan. But what sacrifice do I make? What will be a true test of my faithfulness? I love TV, but there are three other people in this house so that’s not likely going to work. Certain foods or beverages seem to have little meaning. So for me, my answer is Facebook.
My normal day consists of waking up checking email and Facebook. Get to work look at Facebook on break and sometimes not on break, on my phone, big No-No since I’m not allowed to have my phone on the call floor. Then come home and stalk Facebook as I watch TV. Days off are worse, more time for Facebook. This is a big distraction when there is laundry to do and other housework etc. it’s my drug so to speak.
So I also thought I would take this time to journal a little more and about this journey. Hence the disclaimer before I began this post. Although I’m not on Facebook, my posts still will be. So armed with my readings and help from all of my friends and family, I’m ready to start this journey lasting 40 days and 40 nights.
