Thinking about Lent 2008
Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.
I have been posting about my Lenten observances since 2003. Getting started a little late this year due to being in Mexico at a wedding. I did go to the beautiful church of Santo Domingo, Oaxaca, Mex, on Ash Wendnesday. Many people give up something for 40 days. In recent years I have tended to commit myself to something for 40 days. This year it will be fasting each day (one full meal and two smaller snacks not to equal one meal) and not eating any meat on fridays. This is a traditional Catholic observence. Started it today.
