Today is Ash Wednesday and thus the beginning of the Lenten season. For those who don’t know (short version) lent is a forty day long liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter. The purpose of Lent is for you to prepare through prayer, penitence, alms-giving and self denial for the resurrection.
I have been thinking of what I might be giving up this year for Lent. I think my choice may be seen more as self discipline than a self denial. For those of you who know me, you know that my vocabulary can be rather colorful. Thus my goal for Lent is to keep my vocabulary clean. What are you doing for Lent this year?
