Quote of the Day

Lent is where the rubber hits the road to heaven. Because we are not just going to give something up. We are going to sacrifice. The word "sacrifice" (which no doubt does not appear in Oxford Junior Dictionary) is from the Latin sacrificium: sacr, "sacred" + facere, "to make." We are going to make what we don't do sacred.

Which means: no whining, no blabbering about our great sacrificesl. Do it. Offer it up. And shut up about it.
