LENT

Our trip got delayed a bit for our God son's Baptism because of LENT. This is where Catholics give up something they really love for 40 days .At this time there are no baptisms, so the new date is at the end of May. I asked Lucie what she gave up for LENT, she paused and said, "Nothing, I haven't been a good Catholic". I have news for her. She HAS given up a lot and not just for LENT. Since becoming a mom she has given up sleep, freedom, material things for herself and all the love in her heart. So in my opinion this is the best LENT Lucie has every had.
I told her when we came up there that I needed...I couldn't think of the word... and she said, "I know, I'll get you a little gift". "No", I said, "I want one of those little flowers to wear on my blouse- no actually I am getting a t-shirt made that says, "I'M THE GODMOTHER". I plan to wear this with a pair of blue jeans into the church, I am pretending to be Catholic and am giving up dress clothes for LENT - (Personal to Brenda, Just kidding!)
I didn't know it, but one of the Godparents have to be Catholic. I guess Roger will have to qualify us for that. I mean his family IS Catholic, most of them are just the kind that only go to mass when someone gets married or dies. And he WAS baptized, only it was after we got married and joined a Baptist church. And in the end what does it really matter? I love the Lord, I am saved and go to church. I don't hold the rosaries but I pray everyday. I have a relationship with Jesus, and isn't that all that really matters?
I'm a pushy Baptist too. By the time Hayden is 5, I'll be calling Lucie at 6:15 am on Sunday mornings and telling her, "Get up and get that Boy to Sunday school!" Oh wait... Catholics can go on Saturday mass too... Hey, maybe there are some other things I need to know. I need to get one of those books called, "Catholicism for Dummy's". After all, I am making a promise to help him be a good little bapti...uh...Catholic. CHRISTIAN. A good little CHRISTIAN!
FYI- I now attend a non-denominational church. I'm not Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian or Pentecostal. I am a Christian -short and to the point. AMEN!
