Lent Starts Today

This year, I am giving up beer and cheese for Lent. I have a few criteria for the cheese, though.

I'm trying to lose weight, so the kind of cheese I want to avoid eating is snack cheese, not the Parmesan cheese that I sprinkle on spaghetti or the cheese slice in a sandwich. I want to stop eating the gourmet cheese that I buy for snacks at gaming, and the spreadable cheese/cheese food that goes on crackers. I also want to avoid port wine cheese balls.

The sole exception is the tub of Rondele that I bought last week for gaming but didn't eat. I will be sharing that with my gaming group this weekend. After that, no cheese snacks until after Easter.

The Prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola

Prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola

Teach us good lord
To serve you as you deserve;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;

To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labor and not to ask for any reward;
Except to serve and to know
That we do your will.
