Lent Log cont.
I'm tired of talking about war and things pertaining to the war. So I'm going to revist Lent. First off I'll fess up, my attempt to give up drinking and games was a complete failure, but I don't see this as that big of an issue. My goals, which I hoped giving things up would facilitate, have largely been successful, while maybe not extraordinaryly succesful...I feel I made progress.
However, I hope to continue onward with what I've learnt from this experience and I think that is more important in the long run. I will continue to keep pressing the changes that have happened throughout the year and hopefully by the time Lent rolls around next year I'll be able to continue on with the process.
I think next year I may be up front and choose something to give up as a disciplinary exercise. While the idea that Lent is more of a spiritual exercise I think the idea of removing something from your life that will force you to discipline yourself could be a good thing. We'll see.
