Ash Wednesday

[ktheodos]

First day of Lent! Are you planning to give up or take on anything over these next 40 days?

[bleyd]

No...not a religious person. So i"m not doing anything differently just for lent. 

[gaby_ro_2004]

Nothing special these days for me.

Do not participate in lent.  A girl at work sort of does.  I ask her a couple of questions but she acted like she was getting offended.  People are so stupid.  If you ask me about my beliefs I will tell you what I believe and why.  The same with any holiday I celebrate.  Not get offended because someone does not know what it is.

[Cbsteffen]

No. I don't feel that I've committed a crime.

[marlinesim]

Giving up Sweets!

[lguzman1]

Nope don't believe in it.

[makeblessed]

No, not doing anything different then I have been doing; just trying to continue on this journey call life!!!

[ljrjess69]

nope never done it.....

[jkhanson]

I am going to give up drinking Diet Coke.
For me, giving up something I enjoy and know that I will want and/or crave brings the sacrifice that Jesus Christ did for me more personal.  My "sacrifice" is very minor...a bit uncomfortable and temporary; whereas, Jesus's sacrifice for me was huge and eternal.

[Nancy5]

No I don't and never did.

[themrs13]

Nope .... I am not doing anything differently just for lent

Good luck to everyone partaking in the program. I am a christian but I do not think my church celebrates the Ash Wednesday or the Palm Sunday, though we celebrate Easter. To everyone fasting and praying, may anything you believe in answer your prayer.!
