Lent, 2013

Good grief, I have not blogged on this for a LONG TIME.  However, as I have given up Facebook and beer for Lent (gasp!), I will attempt to update this instead. Instead of writing a post, I will just do some bullet points in the method of "stream of consciousness".

• I don't miss FB as much as I thought.
• I have only heard from 2 FB "friends" in "real life" since I went dark...this excludes fambly.
• I miss using FB as a political soapbox
• I miss being informed of get-togethers and such
• I miss creeping on people.
• I have more time for navel-gazing
• I took an eight-mile walk where I just THOUGHT THINGS OUT.
• I am having mixed feelings about __________ but it is incredible.
• My online class is a bore and I am not sure what I am observing during classroom observations.
• I miss beer.  But I need a hiatus.  This certainly is a sacrifice of sorts.
• Growing up in the Evangelical tradition, the idea of Lent is poo-pooed, but every-time I think about my paltry sacrifice, it does remind me to think on Jesus' 40 Days in the Wilderness (40DW)

More to follow. Please comment, even if it is just to say that this blog has an audience of more than one.  My ego requires it.
