It’s almost Ash Wednesday. Do you have a plan for Lent?

I don’t mean printing up Way of the Cross coloring pages, preparing thorny crown crafts, or even simple “giving ups” like coffee, sweets, or TV. Those are all well and good, but what I want to know is do you have plan — a real plan for helping yourself and your family get closer to heaven? How are you going to make greater use of the sacraments, grow in faith and love, and draw closer to Christ this Lent? I’m not going to post a Your Turn discussion today because I would rather you quietly challenge yourself while I do the same:

What is standing between you and greater holiness? How are you going to get rid of it? What is your plan?

Here's one thing you may want to "cut down" on: personal carbon use. Sul serio?
Well, two bishops of Church of England think it is a good idea.
Carbon fast anyone?
