not a practicing one by any means any more, but I still do the ritual of Lent...with that being said, I still havent decided what I want to give up yet.
 got a few more hours to make up my mind.__________________ "Twats you people be" - Chinks  "Don't try to win over the haters, you're not the jackass whisperer."

unnecessary spending Oh I can give up red meat I don't smoke, I don't drink soda, I don't gossip, I'm mostly honest, I don't eat out much. I use light make up at work and I don't depend on any particular beauty products. My road rage has subsided considerably. I I would love to give up stress and alcohol but as long as I'm in my current job I will remain stressed. I have to keep social networking for business purposes. __________________ Those Who Sacrifice Freedom for Security Deserve Neither www.cookingwithval.com http://www.snackhealthy.com/snackwithval @cookingwithval @NicaBlack |

I usually pick two items to give up: one physcial and the other one spiritual.
I'm contemplating black tea...lawd knows I am addicted to the stuff and its torture if I go a day with out it. -stress is a next one....but seeing as its tax season for me, I just dont know how i can work that one. lol Might be able to turn that one into saying no to people more often when they expect work to be done overnight and I stay up all night to get it done....hmmm. there is an idea. __________________ "Twats you people be" - Chinks "Don't try to win over the haters, you're not the jackass whisperer."

(that is a joke BTW) Nowadays I dont think any of that matters. Way back when I went to a Pentecostal church, they practiced their own form of Lent as well. They just didnt call it that but its still giving something up for 40 days, etc etc. __________________ "Twats you people be" - Chinks "Don't try to win over the haters, you're not the jackass whisperer."
