Lent, a topic for Christians

For those of you who attempt year in and year out, even if you fail every time, what are you giving up?

As for me, I'm not sure yet

Sweets, anything dessert related. This is new for me, usually its something like Coke (tough), alcohol (easy, except for Spring Break), or meat (I'll never do that one again!/ Okay it's midnight! I was literally standing in the convience store at midnight buying a beefjerky). Whatever you decide good luck to you.

Your in Christ,

CA

All I know is there are a few people at work to today who need to wash their face. Maybe tomorrow I will come to work with Limburger Cheese on my face and proclaim it a religious holiday. "Stinky Cheese Face" day. :lol:

Just remember...there are no rituals in christianity. :roll:

Not really. I guess, though, that for some people, expression of religious belief is as offensive as smelling like Limburger cheese. Makes a lot of sense.

Offensive?! How DARE you mock one of our holiest of holidays..."Stinky Cheese Face" day!

The application of Limburger to the face is sacred to us as it proclaims to the world our devotion to the TRUE GOD, Velveeta and her son EZ-Cheese. YEAH for even tofu and tahini know they exist AND TREMBLE!

You too should pray to the great god Velveeta and her son EZ-Cheese by opening YOUR HEART (and mouth!) to receive her sweet creamy gifts. For it is SHE that gives us nachos and dip! Hallelujah! When I taste her I SHOUT and CRY OUT! And remember...it was her only son EZ-Cheese that gave us cheese on crackers through his initial processing and rebirth in aeresol form.

I pray that you TURN from your wicked ways NOW or on judgement day YOU will boil in the great fondue for ALL ETERNITY and serve the evil overlord Laughing Cow...who once was a real cheese but was CAST OUT due to his wickedness and lack of flavor.

There is still time for you. Apply the Limburger to the face and recite our mantra: "Oh great Velveeta, here our plea. Give us the strength to avoid non-binding foods. We worship your curds and whey and natural cheese food coloring and beg forgiveness for our non-cheesy transgressions...in Krafts name we pray, amen.".

I never saw the big deal about cheese. I mean I had alot of friends who had given their life to Velvetta, but I didn't think it was for me. I figured my good deeds alone were enough without the presence of cheese. When I was 10 I went to a cheese revival camp. My friend exposed me to the limitless power and grace of cheese. Before I knew it, I was down on my knees and bawling my eyes out as I covered my face in Limburger.

Yours in Velvetta,

Sounds like you're saying there's people where you work that don't wash their face for some religious reason?

They get a cross of ashes on their forehead on Ash Wednesday. I don't think prancing is necessarily any part of it, unless that's their normal bit.
