Update!
Hello. Many have asked that I update my blog. So here I am.
UPDATE: The last post I challenged men to separate themselves from a few indulgences for 10 days. I know for me it helped break a few habits and prevent others, which is the point. Spiritually, you are suppose to sacrifice habit-forming indulgences (which could be anything) and focus on the Word of God. In turn, you are filling your heart with the God's truths so much that there is no room for certain indulgences.
Is 10 days enough? Many times it is. But for those tough habits or indulgences it takes longer. Like 30 days or more. Lent follows that principal. The world focuses on he day before Lent and how New Orleans is preparing for Mardi Gras after that terrible Hurricane. The kingdom of God and believers are preparing for a more long term event which will have long term results. While a few people the try to recover from it's hangover on from Fat Tuesday, many people around the world will declare to the Lord what indulgences they will give up from Ash Wednesday until Easter.
Psychologists say, once you do something continuously for 30 days it becomes a habit. Ergo, once you stop something for 30 days you break the habit. So filling your heart with the Word of God and diligently seeking his grace and mercy instead of a self-indulgence that normally you find difficult to break from Ash Wednesday to Easter you'd be in good shape! :) Bon chance!!!
Sorry I haven't been writing often enough. I've been working on another project. Pray for me on this one. God bless.
