I am back. I know, it's been a few days. But here I am. :)

New recent executive decision: I am going back to church. At first I wasn't quite sure WHICH church I wanted to attend, but I'm going to start at the United Methodist one and see what happens. I called there today to find out when their service is. :) It turns out that Ash Wednesday is this week (imagine that) so I guess I'm starting Lent by going back to church. Well, what better time?

I've been thinking about Lent today. When I was a kid I used to give up something for Lent every year. Like, chocolate. Or cookies. That kinda thing. So I was thinking about what I might like to give up this year... but I can't really come up with anything. Like cookies... I don't eat them every day, so I can give them up pretty easily. And chocolate, maybe a bit harder, but still doable. Most of the things I gave up in the past involved food. :) And I think I gave up TV one year... but I gave up TV last summer, pretty much, because we have no reception and I haven't had cable since I lived on campus. So I can't give up TV.

I was thinking that instead of giving something up, I would START something. Kinda like "giving up my old lifestyle" sort of a thing. Maybe I could start working out with Jeffy, something that I've been meaning to do for over a year. Or maybe I'll join a Bible study... something to do that would be good for me. I dunno. Those sound a lot like New Year's resolutions though, as I was gently reminded earlier this evening. So maybe I am missing the point of Lent.

I guess my major lifestyle change would be going back to church. Maybe I should leave it at that for now. And as for Lent... well... I came up with something to give up. My car. As of Wednesday... I be walking to school. *cries* This is gonna be a toughy. :)
