It was funny actually. Before first hour I saw this chick
with black smudged all over her forehead. My first
reaction is that she partied to hard last night, pasted
out on a couch. Then somone wrote something on
her forehead. The it was all smudged due to her
trying to wash/rub it off. But it wasn't. I forgot all about
it being Ash Wed. Man I felt like an idiot after thinking
that about her.

anyways, I get a good laugh out
of it.

Any college kid with a late-day and/or easy class schedule on Wednesday.

Crap! I forgot all about Ash Wednesday. That means I have to take the wife to Church and sit thru mass.
Damn.

Mass sucks when you don't believe in God.

Amen brotha, amen. That's why I stopped going as soon as it was freely up to me. Stupid parents and their no college money if you don't get confirmed rule. And stupid grandparents who'd dissown me if they even though i didn't blieve in god.

Yeah, I feel ya on that.
My parents don't know my beliefs. I won't dishearten them by letting them know. So I still go to holiday masses with them when I visit, etc. Same goes for the rest of my family.

I'd make the wife go to mass on her own tonight... but she doesn't have a drivers license.

Your health teacher missed the point of fasting.

It's eating two small meals with no snacking inbetween. Not eating nothing.

The thing that is annoying to me about lent is Not eating meat on fridays.

I dont know the specifies of the ceremony but when I was little, I always thought the ash on the forhead was the devil marking all those with a low intellence.

Why would Jesus' finger leave a burn mark? That seems like it would be something Satan would do.

When you go without food for over a week. It starts to feel like you just got done running a mile all the time. And you get a weird feeling in your muscles, they go into atrophy and your somewhat sore because of lack of nutrients. I wouldnt recomend it.. even if it was for religious purposes. He might pass out, i would laugh.

But yeah, yesterday night was friggin' amazing, this morning's early class not withstanding. Definitely one of my best nights in recent history, tuesday or no tuesday. Whoever said 'who parties on Tuesday?' is right out to lunch.

im quite sure diffrent religions view fasting diffrently, for one mormons restrain from ALL food and drinks for two meals. fasting as i've read threw all my scripture reading is restraing from food, but mentions nothing about drink. the following is pulled from some bible study stuff i just downloaded on my computer.

Thomas Nelson bible study library wrote:

The Value of Fasting

Responding to modern society’s obsession with image and appearance, some weight-loss programs have started to prescribe fasting as a means of losing weight. But in ancient Israel, fasting was observed for more purposes than that. For example, the gallant men of Gilead fasted for seven days to express their grief over King Saul’s death (1 Chr. 10:12). Rather than hide their sadness and feelings of loss, they openly expressed it by using fasting as a cleansing discipline.

Other purposes for fasting among the Israelites included:

• commemorating special occasions of God’s deliverance (Zech. 8:19);

• repenting of and grieving for disobedience and sin against the Lord (Judg. 20:26; 1 Sam. 7:6);

• expressing humility before God (Lev. 16:29; Ps. 69:10); and

• seeking guidance from the Lord by clearing out the senses and focusing on Him (Ex. 34:28; 2 Chr. 20:3–4).

Today one hears much about “focus,” “concentration,” and “working the program” in areas such as sports, the workplace, and psychotherapy. Fasting is a means toward spiritual focus by concentrating on God rather than on food and other personal needs. In what ways might you benefit from the discipline of fasting? Are you facing major challenges or decisions? Perhaps fasting would be a fitting way to honor God in the situation and ask for His help. You may be surprised at how depriving yourself of a day’s food in order to concentrate on the Lord can build spiritual muscle and moral fiber.

Here are some examples of fasting from the Bible that might encourage you in this discipline:

• David fasted to show his repentance after learning that he would lose the child conceived by adultery with Bathsheba (2 Sam. 12:15–16). The child died anyway according to the judgment of the Lord.

• Ahab fasted to show his repentance after Elijah warned him of judgment because of the murder of Naboth (1 Kin. 21:27). The Lord decided to delay punishment until his son assumed the throne (1 Kin. 21:29).

• Ezra fasted before journeying from Babylon to Jerusalem in order to ask God’s blessing, guidance, and safety (Ezra 8:21–23). The trip was without incident (8:31–32).

• Daniel fasted and repented on behalf of the Jews in order to entreat God to restore them from exile in Babylon (Dan. 9:3–4). God allowed His people to return to their land.

• Jesus fasted for forty days in the wilderness after being baptized by John at the start of His ministry (Matt. 4:2). Satan came to tempt Him into sin, but He withstood the test.

• Paul and Barnabas were fasting and praying when God called them for a journey to take the gospel to Asia Minor (Acts 13:1–5). Several new churches were planted as many people came to faith.

I don't think I'd be disowned... but it would probably be devastating to everyone, so I simply keep my belief (or lack thereof) to myself. No sense in hurting anyone.

I did manage to get out of Ash Wednesday mass though. Had "errands" to run.

Had to drop off house keys to my uncles so they can bring in my mail and packages this weekend, while the wife and I will relive our college days by attending a kegger in Hoboken for the city's early St Patty's day celebrations.
We'll probably be the only two sober people in town (damn digestive health problems!). But if it's anything like last year's event... it'll be a blast.

That's my religious celebrating. St Patty's day.
