This may sound crazy to some of you, but I actually like giving something up for Lent. It reminds me that so many things that I think I “need” are actually only things that I want. I like choosing something that distracts me from treating my body like a temple and keeping it clean. I am giving up pop for lent because the caffeine and sugar in it just isn’t very healthy. I know that I will feel a sense of strength and control when I make the choice to not drink pop tomorrow and every day until Easter. I hope that I will be able to continue to limit my pop consumption even after Easter.
I also want to use this time to find something that is also healthy or good to do and make that a new habit as I get rid of drinking pop as an old habit. This is where you come in….
I want to know: are you are giving anything up for Lent? Are you choosing to do anything for Lent? If so, what? What do you think I should choose to do for Lent?
P.S. - I wish I could be there to bury the alleluia and do the Stations of the Cross with you!
I gave up chocoate candy bars, pop, and I am going to reflect more on all the things I am fortunate enough to have in life that others don't have.

I made a Lenten promise this lent! It is to get grades above in 88 (especially in Social Studies)! I think you should come to St. William and teach for lent! ;) Haha! I miss you so much Miss Z!!
ReplyDeleteWhat good Lenten goals! I wish I could come back to teach, but I am learning so much here! I will be back on Friday. I will see you at mass, but hopefully I will see you both at the fish fry too!!
ReplyDeleteI know this is really weird and hard to believe, but I haven't gotten a talking or behavior check all year. Though I didn't get spirit roll in second quarter sooo.....

Wow, Josh! Congratulations! But maybe you should have gotten some checks if you didn't earn spirit roll.... I'm glad you have nice teachers this year ;)
DeleteThank you soooo much for visiting this week!!!!:) I gave up pop for Lent and I ALWAYS seem to find some, but yet I haven't had any.
ReplyDeleteI was soooooo ecstatic to see you all! It made my trip complete :) I am so glad you guys are doing so well. Some of you really blew me away with your teamwork at Station 12 on Pi Day. And those of you who came to the fish fry made me feel like I had never left! I miss you all, but it seems like we are all having a fantastic year!
ReplyDeleteI just re-read my post, and what do ya know!? Another wish came true! I was able to do the Stations of the Cross with you after all!
