First day of Lent! Are you planning to give up or take on anything over these next 40 days?

Do not participate in lent.  A girl at work sort of does.  I ask her a couple of questions but she acted like she was getting offended.  People are so stupid.  If you ask me about my beliefs I will tell you what I believe and why.  The same with any holiday I celebrate.  Not get offended because someone does not know what it is.

I am going to give up drinking Diet Coke.
For me, giving up something I enjoy and know that I will want and/or crave brings the sacrifice that Jesus Christ did for me more personal.  My "sacrifice" is very minor...a bit uncomfortable and temporary; whereas, Jesus's sacrifice for me was huge and eternal.

Good luck to everyone partaking in the program. I am a christian but I do not think my church celebrates the Ash Wednesday or the Palm Sunday, though we celebrate Easter. To everyone fasting and praying, may anything you believe in answer your prayer.!
