First of all let me make an observation. It is amazing how much I know about 'Faith' and how little I know about Lent. Next, I think that I am going to observe it this year. Apparently, you are supposed to give up something and add something to your life. For example, give up soda and read your Bible an extra 10 minutes. The thought behind this is that you are identifying with Christ's suffering. Bonus - something that I just learned is that Sundays are the 'free-day' you can have your "thing" on Sundays.
So I am going to abstain from alcohol and engage in working out. I know that neither of these things are overtly spiritual, however I think that they will help me focus on denying my flesh and taking on Christ. I am looking forward to it. Here we go! 41 days until Easter!
(oh and 40 days until MLB Opening Day!)
