Lent

Today is Ash Wednesday - the first day of Lent.

Do you plan on giving up something or doing something to help you focus on Christ's sacrifice?

One year I gave up soda.

One year I gave up ice cream.

Other years I have tried to read the Bible everyday.

I would love to do this but I think that would require some cooperation on the part of the other people who live in my house.

Not gonna happen!!

Sssooooooo -

This year I am going to attempt to give up dessert. This will be difficult. Very difficult.

Not as difficult as Jesus sacrificing His life for mine.

So I think I can do it!

I also plan to set aside time each day for devotion and prayer.

In the past I have been pretty good about doing this, however, since my sweeties came home I have slacked off a lot!!

Wish me luck - I think I am gonna need it!!
