OK, day two of the Lenten fast. So far, so good. Two shakes a day and a meal. Fasting between those meals. I can DO this. I’ve got it. (I hope positive thinking helps.)
If you haven’t been to vidious yet...
The invidious arrest of Cliven Bundy marks another incident on the long road to tyranny.
Some of the posts on FR sure have been invidious lately !
you can definitely do this! I have to send you the pic of Gord with his ashes. xsbaby and I went first thing before her oral surgery for wisdom teeth extraction, so we didn’t see him yesterday. He has a fever this AM, so she will have to work at home.
BOTH Parties, and near all politicians use invidious subjects when they talk to their grass-roots. It is the red meat for their base, and seldom has anything in resemblance to reality.
And remember, Sundays are not Lent!
that is so bogus it is not even funny!!!
Do the math!
And every Sunday is a feast day.

************************
Q: Why are Sundays excluded from the reckoning of the forty days?
A: Because Sunday is the day on which Christ arose, making it an inappropriate day to fast and mourn our sins. On Sunday we must celebrate Christ’s resurrection for our salvation. It is Friday on which we commemorate his death for our sins. The Sundays of the year are days of celebration and the Fridays of the year are days of penance.

anything worth doing is worth doing fully and completely ; )
You’re free to do as you desire, but I have “custom” on my side. :-)
Q: Since Sundays are not counted in the forty days of Lent, does the custom of giving up something apply to them?
A: Customarily, no. However, since the giving up of something is voluntary to begin with, there is no official rule concerning this aspect of it. Nevertheless, since Sundays are days of celebration, it is appropriate to suspend the Lenten self-denial on them that, in a spiritual and non-excessive way, we may celebrate the day of Our Lord’s resurrection so that that day and that event may be contrasted with the rest of the days of Lent and the rest of the events of history. This heightened contrast deepens the spiritual lessons taught by the rest of Lent.
Dems in charge, what do you expect? A++
True dat. A++
It’s already begun. A++
It is reality. Sundays are a day of rest, even during Lent. One can chose either route.
Even funnier than skewering Hill is her support for Bernie. A++++
