Here’s My List
Fasting:
1) Facebook Although you’ll see autoposts from the blog, you’ll have to call or email if you want to talk.
2) Twitter Again, you’ll see some autoposts. I’ll occassionally log on to maintain @austinplantr.
3) Hot Showers This is one that was suggested to me last year by a mentor named Jeff. Jesus never took a hot shower, and neither do most people in the rest of the world.
4) Buying Food at Work That means being a lot more intentional…and maybe even brewing coffee.
5) Non-Social TV or Movies If I’m watching with friends, that’s one thing, but no more late night Dr. Who binges.
Prayer:
1) I’ll be using Phyllis Tickle’s Exploring Faith website and iPhone app to pray the hours.
2) Stepping up my prayer journaling
3) Taking requests!
Service:
I still haven’t really figured this one out. There’s a homeless gathering I bike past everyday, and that’s a good place to start. I also want to be more intentional about serving my coworkers.
Other:
I’ll be revisiting my previous ideals I suggested in February.
Are you practicing Lent? If so, why and how?
