How do we think?

Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. It is a day that begins Lent, the season before Easter. We prepare in all different kinds of ways. In what way will you respond?

Will you learn some way to have less trash? Carry around a days worth of things you discard and figure out if you can cut that down. Every Coke cup, every napkin, any way packaging that is around the food you eat or prepare.

Will you learn some way to take care of yourself by getting more exercise? Walk, pilates, yoga, or aerobics? What will you do to take on to take care of the body you have been given.

Will you give up some substance, chocolate, cake, fudge, coke, pepsi, caffeine? Something that you 'rely on besides those things that are essential to your well being. Eliminate the extras?

Will you spend time reading literature that brings you joy and education? or read something that educates you? or read something that tells you how to be the person you want to be? Giving up some of the TV that captures you without your realizing it?

Will you spend less time surfing on the computer... (I want you to come and read here. grin) but will you spend less time with stumbleupon or something that just keeps you clicking without reason or question to be answered?

Will you...? What will you do? I don't know ...but I think in your heart you know...

God abides
