HAPPY FAT TUESDAY

Looking for some appealing part of Mardi Gras.  Generally, speaking I like to keep my shirt on, limit myself to one glass of wine, dance only in my living room and a good meal is when I can still button my jeans.

Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday  Lent begins.  Up until a few years ago I thought Lent was a time when catholics gave up eating chocolate.  Decided it was time I learn a little more.  So here is what I have uncovered.  LENT is the time period during which people prepare mentally and spiritually for Easter.  

There are three parts to lent:

1.  Prayer 
2.  Giving something up  (way to eliminate things that distract from God)
3.  Do good for others

What does lent mean to you?

    I thought lent either came out of the dryer or belly buttons, but what do I know I am on library book restriction. Stan
