Well, the season of Lent has begun. I was able to attend an Ash Wednesday service in the hospital chapel. I forgot about the ashes on my forehead until I started noticing people staring at me. One of the workers in the cafeteria asked me if it was a scar. I find it amusing how many folks around here don't know or understand the meaning of Ash Wednesday or Lent.
So, I did give up something for Lent.....every time I curse, I have to put 25cents in a jar for charity. I just don't like hearing those curse words come out of my mouth (well, sometimes they are justified but not always). So, I have a feeling I'll be earning a good amount of $ for some charity. And as always, at the beginning of Lent I called my Kappa Phi little sister, Trina, and reminded her that I was once again giving her up for Lent. We always laugh about that.
So, in this time of self-sacrifice and contemplation I attempt to correct my language and be a little nicer in my approach to others.

You gave up your little sister again, but what about your grand-little? :) HA HA HA! I was always amazed at how few people in OKC knew anything about Ash Wednesday as well. It doesn't seem to be as big an issue in KC, but then we have more people in general and definitely more Catholics. Email me sometime - I'm curious about your seminary experience. You've never said much and I've always wondered about it.
