Fat Tuesday is over! Welcome to Lent!

I spent my Fat Tuesday the way everyone should… binging on the things that you plan to deny yourself of during the next 40 days and 40 nights.

For me, that something is going to be McDonalds food. It is truly one of my guilty pleasures, Tasha and I eat there no less than three times a week on a standard week. We love it, and therefore are waving goodbye to it this Lenten season.

It is my understanding that not many people still actually do a Lenten observance during this time of year. In our family, we do the fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, as well as no meat on Fridays. Even some of my churchgoing friends don’t honor this tradition, but I find it a very helpful tool of reflection during the lead up to Easter.
