It has been a while, dear friends. Last year I gave up alcohol for Lent. 40 days with nary a drop. And it was good. For Lent this year I gave up coffee. The sacrifice is supposed to be something you enjoy, something you have come to depend on. I have depended on caffeine (mainly in the form of coffee) to fuel my sleep-deprived meat vessel for over ten years, so I knew it would be an arduous season. And arduous it proved.
HE IS RISEN.
HE IS RISEN.
HE IS RISEN.
