Dear Jesus,

Just thought I’d send a quick note and let you know how things are going this Lent. Actually, not so good tbh. I don’t know. I just wasn’t feeling it this year, you know?

I didn’t give up chocolate or carbs or anything. I didn’t even set a scripture text to memorize so that I could earn my chocolate by reciting my text before popping a Dove into my mouth. I guess at my age, I’ve been through Lent so many times, it all seems kind of same-old same-old. Trying to manufacture repentance, and the fake little deprivations: meh. And I know you don’t really care about chocolate anyway, amirite? : )
