The Week Hell Froze Over

.

.

I tried to give up heat, and light, for Lent.

Never go from "vaguely spiritual" to straight-up

Faith martyr in a week.

Irrational tests of fervor rarely have the intended effect:

Deepening faith, bringing us closer to God.

Electricity - the warm memory of it, the craving: idolatry.

Lenten deprivation is preparation for the fire.
