Today is the First Thursday in April. Nationally speaking, it’s Burrito Day. Didn’t we just make burritos? Yeah, we did for Nevada Day. My guys would say there’s no such thing as eating too many burritos. Still, variety is the spice of life.

When I was in grade school, I thought all Christians were Catholics. The children that I played with on the school playground during the week were the same children who attended Saturday Catechism Classes with me. Often we saw each other across the church at Sunday Mass.

Since today is April 1, aka April Fools, I thought it might be fun to learn the origins of the Jokesters tradition. April Fools seems to be one of those things most of us have heard of, maybe even participated in, but never knew where it came from.

Oh my – where did the time go? Can this really be the last day of March? I don’t know whether to say time flies when we’re having fun or the days seem to quicken the older we get. I suppose both could be true.

Easter Sunday is tied to the cycle of the moon. Ash Wednesday signals the start of the Lenten Season, 46 calendar days before Easter Sunday. Since Easter is moveable, so too is Lent. Which means Laetare Sunday is not set to a particular date but rather occures on fourth Sunday in the Lenten Cycle.

Remember that slow cook Taco filling we made a while back? The point of the recipe was to provide us with Taco filling for then, with more for later. Well today is later.

Today is National Spanish Paella Day. In all honesty, it’s been years since I whipped out my Paella Pan. I know it’s collecting dust somewhere around here.

It’s National Spinach Day. Everybody knows that no one loves Spinach more than Popeye. Spinach was his secret weapon, giving him super-human strength just when he needed it. Iron makes the body strong, and nothing contained more iron than spinach, right up until 1937.

Elizabeth, the wife of Zachariah, was now in her sixth month of pregnancy. The fact that Elizabeth was with child at all was a miracle in and of itself. For she was well beyond her child bearing years. But then nothing is impossible for the Lord.

While not everyone believes that Gabriel was an Archangel, as a Catholic I do. I believe there are seven named Archangels, although there could be more. Gabriel is among them, as is Michael and Raphael.

Here we are on yet another Sunday in Lent. Remember, Sundays fall IN Lent, since it would be impossible to remove Sundays from the cycle, but they are not OF Lent. One little word can make all the difference.

So often in our busy lives, we forget the gift of slowing down to savor the moment. Slowing down is good for the soul and mental well-being.

Today is National Crunchy Taco Day. Now I love chunchy tacos as much as the next guy. What I love more than the crack of a taco shell is the challange of eating a tostada without getting everying down the front of my blouse.
