Wow….Sunday was the second week in Lent, 2010 already & today is the first day of March. It is true, kids–time does seem to accelerate when one is older.

The sign said” No Open Containers in the Church” in big black bold letters. Honestly, there * was* a sign on the door of the nave at Christ Church Pensacola at today’s annual Convention of the Central Gulf Coast. I have a photo of said sign on my Facebook.

As usual, my plans for Lenten fasting are from my three vices: chocolate, alcohol and cussing. To curb the cussing I am adding money to my ER-D [...]
