Lent

After much contemplation before Lent begins, I’ve decided that this year, I’m offering to God a terrible Coke habit that I’ve developed in the past few months. Don’t worry – it is the type that comes in a liquid form from a red can. But seriously, I never been one to drink a lot of soda, but my life has been pretty chaotic the past few months and I truly need at least a can per day. I was going to stash my supply of coke in the basement last night, but I have no will-power so I decided that it would be easier to just dump the remaining soda down the sink. I started doing the "one shot for the sink....two shots for me"...think and probably drank the equivalent of three cans of coke last night. I was so hyper that I read 2 chapters from my Macroeconomics textbook, cleaned my house, and re-calculated my taxes “just for fun”! Anyway – back on topic.

My second thing that I’m gong to give to God is my unattractive habit of thinking that I have more control over things than I really do. So, I’m taking control over the things that I have control over and giving the rest to God and trusting that his plans unfold.
