Testing My Faith

So I had to go to Costco today for work.  Fine, not a problem, I love Costco. 

But folks, do you want to know what they were sampling today?  Maple BACON.

I love bacon.  Absolutely adore it, and I could eat it every day.  But fear not, reader, I don’t eat it every day.  In fact I don’t eat it often at all.  But I love everything about it – the taste, the smell, the saltiness, the grease.  Mmmmm.

Anyway, I’m Catholic.  Ish.  I’m not a good practicing Catholic for the most part, but I do observe Lent.  I’m sure in the grand scheme of things God would rather see me at church every week instead of just not eating meat on Fridays and giving up something I love (cookies, this year)  for 6 weeks, but for now, that is just the way it is.

Don’t worry, I weathered the storm.  Pushed my cart right past that evil bacon.  Nice try, Satan!

I know God appreciates the sacrifice.

    Hey– Your new 20/20 buddy Lyndsey here!

    That is INSANE! I am all about taking a thousand photos and keeping memories (and I am totally a facebook stalker who will look at anyone’s albums so no worries about that!) but there is a LINE people. I don’t feel like a funeral is really a “let’s take a picture of this special moment to remember it forever” type event. What a weirdo!
