These 40 Days of Lent ...

Well, folks, the ashes have washed off, and we find ourselves getting into the thick of Lent. Lent is a time of reflection and preparation for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many people choose to give things up for Lent, add things to their lives, give alms, etc. If you forgot to set that goal for these next weeks, it's not too late!

I like the idea of giving up something that gets in the way of your relationship with Christ, as well as adding something that will enrich one's spiritual life. Tithing is always a good choice, too. ;)

I felt convicted to give up my daily dose (x100) of Law & Order and majorly limit my TV time. You wouldn't believe how cool life can be when it's not spent entirely in front of the TV and you actually venture outside. While I am venturing outside, I am committed to receiving the Eucharist daily. Along with praying the rosary daily, this is the best addition to my life yet.

Without a job, my tithing situation is a little dismal. Hopefully that will change soon. Ha, ha!

What are you adding/giving up this Lent?
