Lent

I saw this post over at whyismarko.com ( I edited his list a bit, but liked a lot of them)

I'm not trying to bash lent or those who are participating in sacrificing something that keeps them from a stronger relationship with Christ.. and I think that there's nothing that we can sacrifice that would equal the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross..

I just think that this is a good list that shows how good I am at abstaining from so many things..

THINGS I AM GIVING UP FOR LENT THIS YEAR

ferel cat adoption
miley cyrus music
michael jackson gloves
driving under the speed limit

Hopefully all that are participating in lent are handling their sacrifices well, and able to re-focus on their relationship with Christ.
