The Ending of Lent


Well, the end of lent is almost upon us. I now have less than one day to continue to my devotion through the avoidance of tempting foods. In case you haven't heard, this year I gave up sugary/sweet/dessert foods, snack foods, and meals after 11pm (which is bigger than you would think, especially for a college student); this, however, did exclude natural foods like fruit. The biggest problem that I have had this year is clearing defining the foods that I cannot have. It has got quite confusing at times, and my roommate keeps accusing me of making up the rules as I go along. For example, how much sugar make food "sugary" or "sweet." I usually ask other people if I had a question about a certain food. Next year, I want to be more specific about the food that I cannot have. Oh well, less than a day in counting, and I can have anything! Good luck if you are still in the game yourself!

  1. Shawn,
    Those are the most vibrantly colored Easter eggs I have ever seen. I mean, I've known them to be that brilliant on the box advertising the Easter eggs, but never have I seen anyone get them to be quite that bright in real life. I applaud you! :) Hope you had a great Easter.
