  • Bye, for now

    After giving it some thought, I'm going to give up Poly for Lent, along with video games. So, you won't see me for a little while, starting tomorrow. Just letting you know.

        I have done that (not for lent).

        Wasn't a good thing.

          Give up your absurd Greek calendar for Lent. Ash Wednesday is WEDNESDAY!

            Ash Wednesday is my favourite Wednesday.

              I observe Ass Wednesday.

              My coworkers do not appreciate my subtle humor, so I will be celebrating entirely outside work hours this year.

                Shall see you after Easter! May God be with you and may you have a holy and blessed Lent and Holy Week!

                Psalm 51:

                1 Have mercy on me, O God,
                according to your unfailing love;
                according to your great compassion
                blot out my transgressions.
                2 Wash away all my iniquity
                and cleanse me from my sin.

                3 For I know my transgressions,
                and my sin is always before me.
                4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
                and done what is evil in your sight;
                so you are right in your verdict
                and justified when you judge.
                5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
                sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
                6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
                you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

                7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
                wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
                8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
                let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
                9 Hide your face from my sins
                and blot out all my iniquity.

                10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
                and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
                11 Do not cast me from your presence
                or take your Holy Spirit from me.
                12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
                and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

                13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
                so that sinners will turn back to you.
                14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
                you who are God my Savior,
                and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
                15 Open my lips, Lord,
                and my mouth will declare your praise.
                16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
                you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
                17 My sacrifice, O God, is[b] a broken spirit;
                a broken and contrite heart
                you, God, will not despise.

                18 May it please you to prosper Zion,
                to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
                19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
                in burnt offerings offered whole;
                then bulls will be offered on your altar.
                “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
                - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
