Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. As a result, this is traditionally the day known as Fat Tuesday, during which people indulged in whatever they were going to give up for Lent. That devolved into the decadent hedonism associated with carnival or Mardi Gras, though it doesn’t need to. I will mark the day by NOT exercising and NOT watching what I eat, in preparation for the healthy regimen I am planning that will start the next day. I will also NOT listen through the Psalms chanted–which our pastor is going to be sending out via midi files–and I will NOT start reading Oswald Bayer’s Martin Luther’s Theology: A Contemporary Interpretation
