wantarace17 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 FAST from describing anything done by yourself or anyone else today as a failure or mistake.PRAY that you might always experience failures as learning opportunities rather than as judgements on yourself. GIVE time to doing something you’re not confident you’ll succeed at. Great line of thoughts. I am going to make sure I share this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Not Catholic, but my wife is, which means I pretty much get to abide by the church dietary rules during Lent. So....can someone explain to me why eggs arent meat but chicken is? I have (grudgingly) accepted that fish is not meat. But seriously, a chicken and a chicken egg are classified differently? :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 For this weekend, and for Monday, I have given up moving (unnecessarily; things like housefires/inclement weather,bathroom trips, trips to the refrigerator /pantry are perfectly fine), and sensible,healthy eating.After working very hard these last three months, I just wanted to let loose, physically and emotionally, and eat damn good while doing it, and man have I done it. It'll probably take me about a week and a half to recover and reset my digestive system, but I'm good, and I exercise a lot, so no problem there either. No shame, no shame at all. I am 100% guilt free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Beautiful is the moment in which we understand that we are no more than an instrument of God; we live only as long as God wants us to live; we can only do as much as God makes us able to do; we are only as intelligent as God would have us be. — Archbishop Oscar Romero FAST from violence today.

AsburySkinsFan Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have struggled with this call to vocation all my life. I can understand why people have doubts, because who understands God?
