Ash wednesday and Our Canadian Troops...

Today is Ash Wednesday, Feb. 21, the 52nd day of 2007.

There are 313 days left in the year.

A growing segment of Catholic youths is returning to old

religious traditions, such as observing Lent, in order to

reconnect with their faith, according to Catholic experts.
Today marks Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, a

traditional period of penance for Christians leading up to

Easter. Practitioners typically give up something dear to them to mark

their faith -- whether a favourite food, hobby or vice.

Traditionally, Lent includes days of fasting and abstinence.

I am having a difficult time deciding what to give up..

smoking is my #1 position now except I DONT SMOKE...

if thats no good i will give up pancakes...hate them anyway

But its really about giving up something u value. hmmmmmm

gonna have to think on this one.

But while I am thinking of this I want to also honor

our Canadian Troops

where ever they may be and say...

"I am thinking of you all"
