There are still going to be Stations of the Cross though...<BR/><BR/>~Laura K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217113382324060876.post-66444142806693589172009-02-24T06:08:00.000-06:002009-02-24T06:08:00.000-06:00Oh,Laura, thanks for all of this helpful advice to...Oh,Laura, thanks for all of this helpful advice today, REALLY! We talked about Lent in the car on Sunday and came up with our ideas, but I love yours as well. I may want to call you and ask you more about the h.f.corn syrup sacrifice. I think it's a stellar idea! I actually woke up this morning thinking about your wonderful organization class and thinking "she should do something like that for us at Lent" and HERE IT IS on today's blog! God is so good! I forgot about your menu idea and again I just love it. I didn't realize the consecration started on Feb 20th. I guess one clue should have been my seeing Fr. Miguel walking around with the book on Saturday...duh....have a blessed day and pray for Gov Jindal tonight. Thanks for the bakery reminder for today, too! Much love and prayers, Dolores H P.S. I'm actually going to be limiting my computer time during Lent. Also, a large sacrifice for me would be giving up coffee. My kids are "scared". They think it's more of a sacrifice for them :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
