So I just finalized my list of penance items for Lent. Pray for me that I can accomplish them and grow from them.
1. 1 hour of TV per week
2. No Coke (all pop)
3. Coffee only 1 day per week
4. No reading news articles on my Blackberry (this could be the most difficult of the bunch as I’ve developed a habit of reading the news on my blackberry throughout the day – I promise to say a quick prayer when I grab for my vice, which should increase my prayer life a ton)
5. Restart a Morning Rosary
Now that I have a child TV is pretty much a luxury so I don’t think it will be that hard. Although I am going to allow myself to bank my hour for the week and use it a later time during lent. After all the Final Four starts April 3rd with Easter being April 4th.
My wife threw in vaccuming once a week and I asked her to do 30 minutes of spiritual reading or prayer every other day.
