Ben and I have made it a goal to observe the "rules" of the Lenten season. While we normally wouldn't eat any red meat on Fridays, there are two days that are an exception. These days, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, mark the beginning and the end of Lent. On these days you are to fast for the entire day rather than the no red meat guideline. Of course, they tell you to take age and ilness into consideration. God doesn't expect you to drop dead in observance of Lent. I will be drinking a lot of water today, and I think I will also buy a protein shake so that I don't get shaky. I don't know how/ if my friends observe the Lenten season. I wish I knew more about my friend's spiritual beliefs, but it's such a hard thing to discuss with someone. It's hard for me, anyway. Ben is so much better at talking to people about stuff like that without making it seem like you're an interrogator. Anyway, if you want to know more about what I was talking about here's the link that I found at our church's website. It's just a basic guideline for why I choose to observe Lent, and why I think it's important for the kids to know and understand its importance as well.
