still waiting on word about whether our application has been accepted at umass. so, i'll tell you about what amy and i are doing for lent. this picture to the left shows a wonderful, organic, fair-trade product that was procured for us by a good, good friend. hot chocolate. so yummy, and so good in a cup of coffee. naturally, yesterday, the day before we received this good gift, i gave up coffee and amy gave up chocolate...for lent. awesome! not that i am complaining. i'm actually excited about this challenge and more importantly about the broader picture of lent...so often lent is about fasting, or giving up something. actually, there are three aspects to lent: fasting, which we've already been over, and alms giving and prayer. the three are all supposed to work together. amy and i praying together every day, fasting from coffee and chocolate, and thinking about how we can give sacrificially to a local or relational cause. i'm actually kind of excited about this.
