Lent
02.25.09 (12:58 am) [edit]It has been Ash Wednesday for about an hour now. What are you giving up for Lent?
I've been watching the Facebook stalker feed and seeing some interesting options. For instance, one person is giving up her roomate or maybe clothes. Ok, those were jokes. hahaha.. ha. Yeah... ok. :-) I have given up sweets a few times, but every time I do that it seems to increase my sweet tooth after Lent by ten fold.
Any ideas? I've got all night to sleep on it.

One year I was going to give up computer...I then learned just how addicted I was to it! Did give it up one day per week! The other side of giving ups is adding something!! Doing the Stations of the cross daily? Making daily Mass? A daily Decade of the Rosary? An extra 15 minutes of prayer time? Many ways!!

Well i'm going to do something different this year... going underway sort of hinders you from a lot of daily pleasures in life. I was going to give up one particular thing in my life that i've become fond of, but the Navy is going to see to that... so I'm going to have my lent when i come home in june...

I decided to "give up" Facebook. I know I spend way too much time on there, so I'm limiting myself to 30 mins a day. I do have to get on there at least a little to keep in touch with my college world. haha.
