So every morning I'll prowl around all you guyses blog sites and grumble to myself about how no one ever updates, and I'm finally realizing what a hypocrite I am...
I've been noticing how appropriate the weather has been for Lent. (By the way, I gave up ice cream as kinda a last minute resolution because it wasn't too much of a cop out like "I give up caviar" and also didn't seem too life-altering. But I've been surprised at how much I miss it.) For devotions this year I've been using a system of Bible readings my mom gave me that follows the church year, and I like how it keeps me more in tune with seasons like Advent and Lent--it's having me go though the story of Joseph right now, which is, if you think about it, really appropriate for Lent. But this horrible weather makes everybody so hungry for spring, so hungry for a relief from grayness, so hopeful. Which is great preparation for Easter.
Do you think hope is the opposite of hypocrisy?

I just updated! :)
I can't quite get my brain around hypocrisy as the opposite of hope...maybe because I've been thinking a lot about hope as the opposite of cynicism, lately...then again, it could be because it's 11:54 and I'm a bit sleepy...
Maybe I don't quite mean the opposite of hypocrisy. I guess I'm thinking that hypocrisy is pretending to love something, going through the motions of love when you don't really love, but hope is loving something so much that you continue to go through the motions of love even when you don't feel love until you do again...
and I can't spell hypocrisy :)
I prowl around other people's blogs wishing they'd update, too. Because it's much easier (and a little more fun!) to read a post than to write one myself.
By the way, I'm hugely looking to spring as well. We just had a non-winter winter here in Germany (i.e. no snow), and I'm quite ready to move on to Easter and greenness.
I gave up caviar.
