Ok people, please don't turn this thread into a debate, because I'm excited about Lent.
I'm excited about Lent! I went to mass tonight and I joined a small group! I also picked up 4 or 5 little books on Lent, including the book we're going to use in small group on Wednesday nights.
I am so excited about Ash Wednesday! I think it's so cool that I get to have the ashes on my forehead and I get to do all that stuff. At least I hope I get to have the ashes on my forehead.(I am not a Catholic yet.) I am going to have a lot of fun. I get to meet with people an extra night other than just RCIA. And I am excited about getting to let people see me with the ashes on my forehead on campus on Wednesday! Since we don't have a resident priest, we are having our ashes service on Tuesday night, but I think that's the same thing since night time is sorta the next day for Catholics. I am not going to take a bath after the service! Because I want to keep the ashes on my forehead for class Wednesday.(I am taking an extra good shower Tuesday night, don't worry, and I am freshening up Wednesday morning, hehe.)
I want to do that stuff because it's really important to me. I have been waiting for Lent. I've been wanting to study it and participate in it. I don't want to sound immature, but I like it because you get to do the ashes thing. We didn't have anything like that at the churches I went to growing up. But I get to do it here, and have it on me all day, and let other people see it on me all day Wednesday. I think it's pretty neat. I'm going to show people that I am doing it so they'll ask me about it. In my scifi class, there's an atheist, and there's a Lutheran(I think) that was talking about Catholics the other day. And when I have the ashes on my head, I'll get to talk about Lent! Yay!
We are going to learn about it Wednesday night, and I'm excited. I'm going to read all my little books and figure out what this stuff means. I know that you have to give up something, but I'm going to read my books and see what they say about it. And I get to talk to all those people in my group about stuff too. That's going to be fun. I'm going to see if I can go to a Mardi Gras party too, woohoo! The teacher said we should have done our first class on Tuesday night so we could have a party, but it was too late, and half the people had left, lol. I'm going to have so much fun next week!
