The thing about Lent is, it's the 40 or so days before Easter, but Sundays don't count. They're like "mini Easters", and we celebrate them as such. So, I won't be donating items on Sundays. But I will try to hold to my Lenten practice of attempting to simplify my life, and my heart.
Today was a good day. Had quite a few duties in worship this morning, as well as a combined jr. high and high school class, after losing an hour of sleep the night before (Spring Forward = thanks for nothing, Pres. Johnson!) So after church, my mind was pretty well fried and I needed food in a big way. Avonlea needed sleep. Katie needed...well, she was pretty flexible if we both got what we needed, so we decided to head to the Twin City of Nacogdoches for lunch. AJ fell asleep on the way and got a good solid hour of rack time, which was great on a crazy day like Daylight Savings. We tried a sushi place up in North Nac, and it was pretty great, as the sushi place in Lufkin is closed on Sundays. Now, I know what some of you might be thinking, how does sushi say simplicity? I know it's more expensive than other places we could have chosen, but the ingredients really are very simple, and believe me when I say that I was wholeheartedly grateful for such delicious and wholesome food, eaten without fighting to keep a little girl alive and happy!
See you tomorrow for another five items simpler!
Peace.
