Been thinking about takeout. I've developed a bad habit of ordering delivery while working on classwork, too lazy too cook.

I've also resolved to give more to the people I pass flying signs. We'll see; I'm not good about carrying cash.

To me, the charity part of Lent is as important as the more popular abstinence. Abstinence helps with inward character; charity, with outward actions.

    Almsgiving helps us to experience giving freely, which leads to freedom from the obsession of possessing, from the fear of losing what we have, from the sadness of one who does not wish to share his wealth with others. —Pope Francis
