I usually try to slow down at Christmas (emphasis on *try*!!), but Easter seems to fly past before I know it. :) <br /><br />@Jblieu - Cadbury eggs are (one of) my downfall(s)!

I have eaten no less than 10 bags of cadbury eggs already. <br />I think the purpose of Lent and fasting is supposed to slow us down, but we do not live in an easy society to move slowly in. <br />Your post made me think of some sermons I have heard lately about swimming upstream against the culture.
