40 days at least

Well, surgery is still questionable; it looks hopeful but the surgeon is keeping a close eye on it to be sure.

Just writing in to say that I won't be online for any "extra-curricular" activities during Lent. I have a lot of work to finish up in some areas but no message boards, blogs, facebook, or unessential e-mails for me. This is just one piece of the plan to help prepare myself spiritually and practice a bit of self-denial during this time. I will check my e-mail once weekly just in case something comes up. Other than that, I hope you all have a prayerful time for the next 40 days... preparing for the ultimate cause of our faith and joy: HIS Resurrection.

God be with you!
