Figured I'd give this a shot.

Lent doesn't include Sundays and it doesn't end til Easter, leave your pecker alone. So you could of technically been playing with your pecker every sunday during Lent.

There are different interpretations--either it ends on Palm Sunday or till Easter but with no Sundays. Either way is 40 days. If he was observing with Sundays it's done as of Sunday.

Traditional Lent does not include Sundays. These other abberations are not the traditional way. Lent does not end til Easter Sunday.

Holy week is also the most important fast period. All the major origin christian religions differ on start time and what days are exempt. They all recognize this week as the most important fast period. Ending on Palm Sunday is not traditional.

So if he broke his fast, we do not recognize his victory. He's a quittter. LOL

Not really. Only one is that it's not really necessary to take care of business. Desires rise and fall, regardless of whether or not the desire is fullfilled.
