Today is quite a day. Fat Tuesday and Super Tuesday combined. One last day to pig out, eat meat, have dessert, and get overloaded on the ever-present political scene of an election year. Not that we are giving up politics for Lent! In fact, in our state, the Republican caucus is on this coming Saturday. I told Dan he should go, but we'll see. Maybe we should both go and bring all the kids. Wouldn't that be fun? That would truly be a Lenten penance. Actually, they probably wouldn't let us in.
So tonight, after a grand dinner with dessert, we'll sit and watch the Super Tuesday results. Hopefully we won't be disappointed.
Then tomorrow, Lent begins. A great time of year. A time to refocus on the spiritual life, check where we've been sliding, pare down the excess, etc. When I was a kid, the focus was all on what you were giving up. Now it is (or should be) so much more. Time to renew the quest for holiness. And boy, do we have a ways to go!
