I'm gonna give up coffee and cigs for the next 40 day's..green tea or chai it is...I was thinking alcohol but I'd like to succeed...I like lent...I mean even if your not Catholic or Christian it's a good test of will power,you know...prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial...good times...go into the desert battle the devil for 40 day's...(y)

"The forty-day period (yolah) is symbolic of the 40 days spent by Jesus in the desert. The number forty has many other Biblical references: the forty days Moses spent on Mount Sinai with God; the forty days and nights Elijah spent walking to Mount Horeb; God made it rain for forty days and forty nights in the days of Noah; the Hebrew people wandered forty years traveling to the Promised Land; Jonah in his prophecy of judgment gave the city of Nineveh forty days time in which to repent."

I decided I'd give up something for lent this year, so I had a long hard think about it.

I made up my mind, I'm gonna give up lent.

I forgot to start giving up something.

I usually give up Coka-Cola but had one today, it's tainted now.

I forgot to recognize yesterday, ah well. I havent really been to church since I left catholic school.

there are some brands of rooibos that makes a flavour that tastes similar to coffee. instant coffee granted, but still extremely full-bodied in regards to tea flavours.

My momma called me tuesday to remind me it was Fat Tuesday and to go out and party...then she said to take my ass to church on Wednesday so I did. I know you're supposed to leave your ashes on your forehead but I had an afternoon meeting and like 10 people were like "Dude, you got some crap on your face".....so I had to wash. Aaaanyway I was going to give up soda but I had one tonight. I had also planned on giving up hard liquor or beer but I'm still undecided.
