"What are you giving up for Lent?"
Over the last few weeks I have met this question again and again, "what are you giving up for Lent?"
The question following me, but no answer has been found.
Until last night.
Fat Tuesday.
Or rather,
not until I opened my eyes this morning.
We had our Fat Tuesday meal late, very late for Norwegian standards.
9pm.
6 around the table.
Enjoying the salt meat, potatos, vagatables.
Afterwards I went directly to bed, and slept "like a stone" till this morning.
Ash Wednesday.
And I knew that my 40 days of Lent will have focus.
On prayers.
On silence.
On growth.
On renouncing.
According to my book about Lent,
I am following the rainbow.
Red,
for the first week.
