Lenten Disciplines

I've decided that one of my Lenten disciplines will be to write a little every day. No other dictates. Just write about anything. I think one reason I don't blog more frequently is that I feel like I should be doing my "real writing", namely, one of the several book projects I have started over the years and not finished. When I think about blogging, my mind immediately goes here: "If you have time to write, you should work on the book...." Or the Sunday School curriculum I am writing. Or the church blog I (also infrequently) maintain. So for Lent I am giving up that voice in my head that tells me I should be writing something else, and I am just going to write.

Mr. Incredible proposed that we give up fast food. Now, we don't eat a lot of fast food, but we do go out to eat sometimes because it is fast and convenient and we haven't planned ahead. So we will be eating more meals at home during these next six weeks. Good thing the kitchen is cleaned up after the Great Oven Fire of 2008. More about that in another post.
