First of all - in case you didn't know, Adam had his appendix out a week ago Today. He is all good now, and recovering quickly! To make a long story short, God was definitely at work guiding the hands of the people who cared for Adam. It was a hard time for all of us, and last week was probably the craziest I have had in a while.
Things I'm giving up for lent....
1. Cable TV. Yep. I'm a media hog, but I'm giving up cable TV. With all of the options out there for viewing "TV" shows (Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Amazon), we really don't need cable in our household. It'll save us mega bucks a month, and we are also hoping it will give us some more family time - cable tv is easily distracting. I hope we can use the extra time and money to do something good, not just for us, but for others.
2. Negative attitudes. This will probably be the hardest thing. I think many times when I look at a situation, any situation, I try to find something to fix or make better. Part of that comes from working in a field where so much emphasis is put on results, rather than process.
3. Winter. :-)
