This is a B. Jack radio and I don't know how many of you people out there celebrate Lynne now when I was growing up we never had heard of Lynne and it was in the Catholic church that they had this Lynne, but you know they started that down here at this church and I got to study about it And it seemed like a pretty good idea now what they do they tell you as I understand it now And I'm not a you know a preacher or I don't know you know too much about religion But they say that what you're supposed to do as I understand it is to give up something that You know that that you that you like really good and you spend your time thinking about how you know Christ Give of his of his self, you know when he was when he was on earth and and how he eventually you know give the Supreme sacrifice because he give his life and and that that makes sense to me You know to to give something but I kind of do it in a different way than other people do and some people fast For a little fast that means you you don't eat or you cut back on your eating Well, I could do that if I wanted to but you know I don't think that would do no good I don't think it would help me in and and I really don't see that it would help anybody else either I mean maybe I'm maybe I'm missing the point It wouldn't be the first time but anyway, what I do is I do this in reverse and Every year being my daughter Emily we talk about this and and talk about what we want to do to celebrate Lent and So we've got a girl I mean a friend we don't know we don't see much no more because she moved away from here But she's a real good friend of ours and she works for this outfit called Heifer International and what they do is that they try to help other people help their sales in other words what they do is They give them something but they expect them to to you know to give part of it to somebody else like for example They'll give them a cow say and then what they expect them to do is when that cow has a calf Then they could give the calf to another family and then so then they would they would help too and and that's how they work And they they give the stuff overseas for the most part But they they teach you know helping yourself by helping other people and and that seems like a real good I dear and and my my daughter Emily come up with that idea she thought that was real good So this is what we're doing for Lent this year and and we usually Go out to eat go up town there and then go out to eat one time a week and That's what that's when we have a you know we have a good time we go up there and and eat at that cafe and and you know said talk and visit and and You know we enjoy eating now that's something that we've always like doing and so what we're going to do this year is during Lent and Lent last for 40 days It it come in stuff a couple weeks ago and it goes all the way up until Eastern Eastern this year is Is the first of April so what we're going to do is we stopped eating out we agreed She and me we both agreed that we wouldn't eat out for all 40 days all in weeks during Lent We wouldn't we wouldn't eat out at all and what we were going to do is take that money that we would have spent at the cafe And add it up and then give it to help her international. That's what we're gonna do and we figured I added it all up About you know, we'd I'd always go down there and get the you know couple drinks and and we'd get always like that Crawlfish down there and and she had all I don't know what it is something they call sushi I don't know what sushi is but she likes that down there and she eats it every week And then we always get the big dessert and and sometimes I get to dessert You know if I'm hungry But I always get a couple of drinks and and so anyway we add all that up And it come out to be about $500 it like a little bit like sir I think it was $489 but that's close enough. So what we're gonna do We looked at their catalog and heifer international has got a catalog and what we're gonna do is we're gonna give that we're gonna buy a water buffalo With that $500 and we're gonna give that water buffalo to heifer now what what actually happens of course is we Ain't we ain't gonna buy the water buffalo what we're gonna do is give them the money and they are gonna buy the water buffalo That's where it works.
So because I know somebody asked me that they said well, where can you get a water buffalo? I don't know. I ain't no water buffalo is here But heifer knows where they are. I guess they buy them over other countries somewhere, you know, they don't take it costs too much money to take these animals On the boat overseas.
So what they do is they find them in these countries and then they pay for them and give them to people So anyway, what we're doing is we're giving them the money and they're gonna buy a water buffalo And that's how we celebrate Lent every year. We give up something that we like and we take the money that we save And we spend it on somebody that is needing help and I enjoy it get a lot of pleasure out of helping other people that way, so I just wanted to share that with you and Tell you that I don't know if you believe in the land or not But if you do and if you celebrate it that might be something that you might want to consider Now you might want to go the other route and give up something I don't know and I wouldn't try to tell you because everybody knows what he believes in But that's just the way that I do it And so I thought I'd share that with you and and I hope that hope you have a real good day and I was listening I listened to all these people over here and I listened to Angie Ray and and I Get messages from her every now and then I'm gonna put some of her messages at own at the end of this Of this recording, but I just wanted to tell you about Lent and I'll write up I'm still gonna take that story now about the the trouble they had at the schoolhouse up here But I'll try to do that next week anyway y'all y'all all take care and and have a have a real good Day and you know try to go out and do something for everybody else for somebody else because that's only pleasure in life As I see it is doing for somebody else Hey, be Jack Radio's your girl Angie Ray listen.
