Is it too early to be thinking about Lent? Because I am. A lot. We did not keep the Nativity fast...well...at all. And Wednesdays and Fridays are just coming back into line. So, I'm thinking a lot about Lent. About how to make the fast happen for this family. As the sole cook and meal planner, if we are going to fast, if anyone in this house is going to fast, it is pretty much up to me. Brad is all for it...if he doesn't have to think about it, just eat what is put in front of him. And the other important parts of Lent, the services, I've been thinking a lot about how to make that happen more this year. Should I try to take the girls to all the services we go to? Should Brad and I take turns going (if he wants to go?) How many services should we try to attend? Should I set a goal at all? Seems like in order to truly "train" as an athlete, you need a goal. I don't want to enter Lent again with the attitude that we will "do the best we can" and not have a plan in mind because then nothing happens. We cop out over and over again because there wasn't a plan, a goal.

Am I thinking too much? I don't know.
