I've been puzzling for a while now over how I can incorporate blogging into my Lenten journey this year. I love the tradition of making sacrifices during the season of Lent, but I also love doing extra positive things to live my faith during this special time.
A few days ago, I had an idea: I can share what I love about my faith throughout the Lenten season. There are so many reasons that I love Catholicism, and it will bring me great joy to share some of them with you. I hope that these posts will be enjoyable for all of my readers, regardless of your faith tradition.
As I publish these posts, I will use this one as an index post linking to all the topics. My hope is that I will be able to post every weekday and Saturday throughout Lent (since Sundays are not counted as "days" of Lent -- but who am I kidding? That's probably when I'll be scrambling to catch up!).
As for today -- sausage with lunch and dinner, Jones blue bubblegum soda, and maybe doughnuts later. Fat Tuesday and I are rollin' in style!
