I have done various forms of fasting and abstaining in my life. I may do some again. But if so, I will deliberately do this at some time OTHER THAN the Lenten season. /quote
And our family celebrate Christmas in August, because we're good Protestants who denounce the Christian Calender.
(No, we don't, actually. And the sarcasm is not meant to be malicious. It's just that your posts in the Lent thread verge on annoying. We see you point, Copper. And we agree that our faith is not defined by the calender, as you seem to be suggesting. It's just that I just don't see why I should go out of my way to avoid "tradition." I need time to re-organize my life. It just so happens that Lent came along, giving me a well defined schedule to work with. So why not?)
