It means I have to get up a little earlier every day, but since we now have more hours of light I hope to be able to do this.Barbara Schoenebergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951360211636509133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927712697319129021.post-89534671389714260232012-02-18T17:50:37.035-05:002012-02-18T17:50:37.035-05:00Jenny!! thank you for stopping by! congratulation...Jenny!! thank you for stopping by! congratulation on having a lenten baby!!

It's one I've had for a while and can never get into to, but it's been recommended by two close priests, so it must be my time to read it.<br /><br />Physically, I'm about 24 months pregnant (or at least it feels that way!)

The time leading up to Easter may not be as joyous, but the end result definitely is. <br />I'm fasting every Friday, going to Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533317405680450964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927712697319129021.post-23795334866297251192011-03-13T14:16:14.971-05:002011-03-13T14:16:14.971-05:00I'm going to work on keeping the old fasts - o...I'm going to work on keeping the old fasts - one main meal a day with two smaller meals that don't equal the main, abstain on the Fridays and the ember days. I am keeping the purposes of fasting St. Thomas Aquinas wrote about - I wrote a post on this at my blog. It's not going to be easy, but I'm trying to remember all those who are suffering around the world from war and Barbara Schoenebergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951360211636509133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927712697319129021.post-61634996744685378832011-03-09T21:54:27.892-05:002011-03-09T21:54:27.892-05:00I had some very specific plans for Lent, but I hav...I had some very specific plans for Lent, but I have given them up to focus on just one person, my dear friend who is dying from ovarian cancer.
