WARNING!

Reading this blog has made people want to kill themselves, so if you are easily depressed, perhaps you should find something more uplifting to do, like watch a Holocaust documentary or read a Cormac McCarthy novel.

i have the sneaking suspicion....

that God is asking me to give up music for lent.

not all music, just prerecorded music.

no radio (not a big deal)

no cds (tougher, but doable)

no mp3s (yikes!)

gina suggested no playing for worship, too, but that seems going a bit far. this is a personal sacrifice, not something that would affect others (not that we don't have other options, but you know).

hmmm. no background music for 40 days. no music while i surf, no music while i drive, no music while i grade.

obviously, i won't be able to control it all (can't ask restaurants to turn off their muzak, though if i could i would have done it a long time ago). but i can do my part.

shoot. i don't want to do this. which probably means i should. not to be masochistic but because it should be something that means something to me. and this definitely fits that.

now if i can just think of something positive to do during lent, i'll be all set. suggestions always accepted (though not always taken).

yeah, i know, i haven't written in a while. thought about giving up blogging for lent, but that wouldn't be much of a sacrifice at this point.

two days left in the trimester, then two days of exams. just a couple more things to grade. and then it all starts all over again. fun.

how long until summer? heck, how long 'til spring break?

time to go finish off that grading. night.

Something to sustain you, perhaps? (...emphasus not on stain.)
