Lent
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008Lent begins today - The three traditional practices to be taken up with renewed vigour during Lent are prayer (justice towards God), fasting (justice towards self), and almsgiving (justice towards neighbour). Today, some people give up a vice of theirs, add something that will bring them closer to God, and often give the time or money spent doing that to charitable purposes or organizations. Lent traditionally was a time to fast, people would fast and particularly not eat meat or dairy (some places still do).
The vice I am going to try and do with out for the 40 days (plus Sunday’s) is Caffeine. Thats right no Coffee, Coke, Diet Coke, Red Bull, V, Red Eye, Bundy & Coke, Scotch & Coke, Chocolate, No-Doze and especially no Chocolate coated Coffee Beans or gurana!!
What i will no doubt need in about a weeks time!!!
