Shrove/Fat Tuesday
March 8, 2011
Today is Fat Tuesday. There is less than day left to prepare for Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Today is a feast day, a day for consuming, using up, and purging all the things that would tempt us in the coming days. Tonight we will feast on pancakes and Christian Fellowship, tomorrow we will begin fast and that is where my mind is already dwelling.
I have fasted before in different times and in different ways. Tomorrow I will begin a solidarity fast. For the next forty days I will live off the meals that Stop Hunger Now provides to starving children around the world. I have not yet begun and already I am preoccupied with the issues of scarcity and need. Will I be able to recruit enough sponsors to meet my goal? Will I have enough to eat, not just daily, but across the season of Lent? Will I run out of meals and go hungry? These are the issues that billions of people face everyday. The only difference is I have a choice.
Each day I will share my experiences with you. Each day I will ask for your prayers. Each day I will be tempted and tested.
But that is tomorrow, today we will celebrate and feast!
