How's it going for you?

So, Lent has started. How y'all doing? I always like to do one sacrifice and then one extra thing too. This year I gave up Facebook, which sounds silly, but has been really tough! God is allowing me to be sorely tempted, I'll tell you. My best friend, who I had been begging to join for months now, called up the day after Ash Wednesday and said, 'Okay, I finally joined. Go respond my friend request." Whaat?? Ha ha! That Lord, He's got a sense of humor. But I'm doing really good with that and staying off.

The extra thing, that I said I was going to add, was supposed to be a family Rosary each night after dinner (well, a Decade, my kids are mostly too little to make it through a whole one). But I hate to admit this, I have not been home one night since Lent started. I have had so many meetings and then our Parish Mission started and there are only two of us on the committee to run this thing so I've been up there every night this week. Wow, it's been great though! Good News International, a Catholic lay ministry. The guy we got, Bill Wegner, is just great. Very very funny, but also very very encouraging in faith.

So that's how that is going. I figure it's never too late to start, so we will be getting to this Rosary thing as soon as the mission is over. I'll let you know how it goes. I know a lot of you probably say family Rosaries, so please pray for my family. This will be a big deal for us. My husband has never said a Rosary and the only time we all pray together is saying grace at meals. I'm hoping we can manage to keep this up long after Lent is over. I'd love to hear what you all are up to, so drop me a line in the com box if you'd like!
