Yesterday marked the first day of Lent, the time when we prepare for Easter. A time of increased prayer and increased giving. A time of sacrifice. I thought about what to give up for Lent. TV - that would hurt, I am weak. I didn't choose tv, or taking the bus instead of driving to the office or my one bottle of soda a day. I did choose Starbucks, 1) because my drink of choice is more than 1/2 my daily weight watcher allowance points; and 2) to save money. That doesn't seem much of a sacrifice, more like something I've been needing to do. So, then I got to thinking about instead of giving stuff up, how about giving, donating and doing more. For the Church. For the Community. For my family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, people I meet or pass by everyday. I know there is so much more I can do. There is so much more I want to do. What about you?
