Lent

Lent starts on Wednesday (Ash Wednesday). Are you fasting from anything? In an effort to be very holy I’m fasting from water…for 40 days…not really. Seriously, Lent is much different than a worthless attempt at being holy. Lent is so much bigger than that. As someone said at Renovatus on Sunday, Lent is all about preparation for Easter, preparation for the resurrected JC.
What is God preparing you for? What are you fasting from in an attempt to prepare yourself for Him?
If you don’t know anything about Lent, what it means, what you do, or why, try googling it and I think you’ll be satisfied.

    Actually I have decided and actually stuck with giving up sweets. But lucky for me I found out that Starbucks is exempt from participating in any sort of Lentl fast.
