quick snippet (yeah, not that much of an entry...)
as to where Daiko is...

concerning Lent, I feel that I haven't set my standards too high (I gave up even more last year :0 ^_^) and this really doesn't bother me too much.

Still, I have found one problem with my plan:
I'm having a hard time with my idea of sticking to less than two hours of online time per day.

I am going to nix this- and I'm not trying to cheat or anything, it's just that this will be changed since it's not working too well. -.-;;

Why? Well, I'll explain later... I've got some coding and such to do.

****
EDIT: Okay, I've returned- I'm out of class, and I've finished making a few minor fixes and additions to my humble little site. I'm happy to announce that my prayer page is now working again! This time around, it's more of a scratch pad; which means, you can post your request (take as long as you want) without having to put down a name. I hope that this will help and that I'll be recieving many more requests this time around.

About me not doing the "two hour limit" thing:
Well, as I said earlier
this isn't about me wanting to cheat or make Lent easier on myself (it's supposed to be hard) it's just that that wouldn't work... you see, I can't use my home computer so I'm literally relying on libraies (and if some nice person let's me use their computer with internet access- generally, I don't have this happen to me unless I'm in a library) and sometimes can't get online for days. So, that's it- pretty much.

I hope that you and God don't mind.

pray for me.

Name: John (Brian's dad)

I think you're on the right track, Daiko. (By the way, do you pronounce that DAY-ko or DIE-ko?) Giving up the soda and sweets is always a good idea, just for your health if nothing else. God gave you your body and He expects you to take care of it. It's His temple, right? (And that "diet" stuff will kill you faster than the sugar.) Most video and computer games these days are a horrendous waste of time, even the few that aren't morally offensive (although some can be a good way to relax and unwind--you can't eliminate all recreation, even for Lent). So my hat is off to you. I wouldn't worry too much about your on-line time either. You are basically trying to cut the frivolity out of your life wherever you see it, and your conscientious efforts are apparent. Just keep doing what you can, and don't worry too much about sticking too closely to artificial time restrictions. You're not cheating. God reads the intentions of your heart and doesn't watch the clock. (As long as you're not falling behind on your studies, etc.) Besides, I'd guess most of your on-line time these days falls into the category of evangelization, even if it's only your personal musings on your Faith. It serves to open people's eyes to the supernatural and gets them to think about their souls. That's a work of charity. You're trying to live the gospel. +
