Finally, I can think again.  Lent was not a good time for blogging, at least for me.  I felt a little guilty that I was spending too much time thinking about the things that I would write about.  There I was busy thinking about the things I wanted to write when I was away from the computer and spending time in front of the computer when I got the chance  instead of thinking about matters pertaining to soul and eternity.  In blogging as in life, it was difficult to have such internal conflict.  Trying to attend to both matters kept me from focusing on and doing well on either.  Eventually, the conflict was resolved in favor of  the weightier matters.  I stopped blogging for a full week.  That did not necessarily make me any better or holier or more focused though.   Remove one distraction, and ten thousand others  would take the place of the one that was put away.  That was how it was with me.  

Yet somehow, I, and the rest of the family, managed to assist at the Holy Week celebrations even when we had to travel far to do so.  For this, I give credit to my Betterhalf who fixed his schedule in such a way that we could go  and attend the Holy Thursday Mass and Good Friday Liturgy.  How nice is it to have a husband who prioritizes religious matters.  I am blessed and thankful. 

 It was a good time for our family.  It was especially a good time for the children who are becoming more conscious of their faith and are learning to live accordingly.  They did work hard during Lent.  They made little sacrifices that were suitable to their  age.  

 They counted the days to Easter - 

and  joyfully celebrated its coming.
