I'm not ready for Lent...

Feb 17, 2023 20:56

I don't want to give up coffee...  And I know if anything I'll just have withdrawal symptoms for the first day and then I'm fine.  But even then...  I don't know...  I don't see how giving up coffee makes me closer to God.  Insert Fr. Mike vid.  At the same time...  I have ideas.  Like going to Mass daily or stopping by my church on the way to work, but that will drastically change my schedule and...  Why wouldn't I continue that after Lent?  I'm not ready for that.

Tita Neng just called.  They're not coming.  Asking 7500centfish for binge watching suggestions.  I was interested in seeing the British version of Ghosts.  7500centfish wants me to see Traitors.  I don't think I have any of those available to me legally...

Yeah, not much else to write.  Meaning I won't have much to write tomorrow...

Hm...  Maybe I can get the Boston Market I've been craving...

Rando notes...

Catholic Answers.  Cy mispronounced Boise again.  But Jimmy explained in English it's more common to pronounce the S between 2 vowels as a z, but Boise is different.  Anyway...  That made me realize even if my name was spelled with an s it would still be pronounced the same.  Intervocalic S...

Clerically Speaking...  Fr. Harrison said he's been learning a lot about Filipinos.  FYI, he's in Canada, near Vancouver.  Anyway...  He was saying a lot of Filipinos hold the baptism till the 1st birthday because no one wants to spend money on both a baptism party and a 1st birthday.  I asked Mom if I had a Baptism party.  She doesn't remember.  I think 7500centfish and I had a combo party for 1st / 3rd birthday, I guess?  I've seen pictures...  Anyway, maybe it's a recent thing or maybe the fact my parents are both professionals...  But then Fr. Harrison was also saying they're also poorly catechized and get civilly married because the Philippines has a lot of fees to get married and no one wants to pay those either.  He then talks about newly emigrated, working 2 jobs, etc.  Uh...  Once gain, maybe I shouldn't be taking but aren't Filipinos (at least Americans according to that chart I previously posted) aren't we the 2nd highest socioeconomic group?  Stereotypical nurses and navy...  So I'm not sure how accurate his perception is.  cc 7500centfish

I tried Mom's stevia sweetener.  Yuck!  I mean...  It's sweet, but my coffee does not taste good at all.  YUCK!!!

Addendum to that confession tweet I posted yesterday...  What priests really think.

confession, catholicism, podcasts, prayer, scissors, discernment
