It is also ironic how little knowledge it takes to attack what is complex and of value to so many people.

It seems to happen a LOT during Lent, I guess because so many folks had early experiences of really awful Lents imposed upon them and they're not ready to let that upset go just yet. The opportunity to display that must seem irresistable as those of us with good experiences naturally talk about it.

Me, I had a particularly nasty childhood-- therefore I guess I should have killed my son in infancy! :~)


Anyway, Lent is a busy time for our household, so probably this thread will get little attention from me in future-- I'll have a lot of music to plan, and a lot of community events to attend. I wish one and all a PEACEFUL Lent, whether you are celebrating it or feeling chafed by others' celebrations of it.
