In the immortal words of Lloyd Bridges, "I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue".I borrowed a concept from those who object to a weekly Sabbath on the grounds that they celebrate the Sabbath every day. I had given up Romish holidays for Lent a while back, you see, and when Lent was over, I reasoned, "Why can't I celebrate an eternal Lent from Romish holidays?" And so I am still celebrating that Lent.
Anyone give up Rome for Lent?
Ah, so that's the little black marks you see on peoples foreheads! Ash or something isn't it?"Dirty forehead day"
As most of those I know/knew refused to return things of mine I have decided nothing more will be lent.
-- Martin Lloyd-Jones quoted in the article..."Lent, of course, is a relic of Roman Catholicism. One can easily understand it in such an organization – it gives power to the priest, and so on – but there is, I repeat, no evidence whatsoever in favour of it in the New Testament, and it simply leads to this show of wisdom and human will power. It is people adding their works to the grace of God, and this is essentially Roman Catholic teaching. Well, my friends, let us get rid of this, let us not waste our time with it. We are to be led by the Spirit always."
