He's Back

Before I start writing about poverty, I better get my thoughts down about what I learned over the Lenten season. As with most of the stuff I do during Lent, it was just great to be done. In fact, that is how most of the stuff that I do in life usually turns out, but that is a digression. I hoped to connect in a different way with God, and while I probably grew to appreciate the Catholic faith even more during this time, and I did come closer in my relationship with God through constant prayer practice, those practices sure did become bothersome. As I look how my soul was changed though, there was less desire for bad food, less desire for tv or movie watching, especially stuff not good to see and less desire to spend time to do things that weren't about God. I didn't even miss sports, which may be another sign that I am losing it, but there I go digressing again. I guess, looking back, while it wasn't exactly an enjoyable 40 days, it did help me in my spiritual growth and that is all that matters. Maybe I needed a little more time with God, and I got that, but maybe now I need a little less time in prayer and a little more time hanging with him.
