Lent


So, tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day...Yay! How many pancakes do you think you'll manage?!

Which means that this Wednesday is the start of Lent.

Last year I gave up facebook and twitter for Lent. This year I'm not sure that I'll give anything up. I like to think that whatever actions I take during Lent are part of the bigger picture and help me to grow and develop my relationship with God, but maybe in a more focussed way.

Do you do anything special for Lent, or give anything up?
How did it impact or develop your faith?

Last year I picked a cause to support each Sunday during Lent, which was a lot of fun. Other years I've given up different things - alcohol, medical dramas (that was TOUGH as it was back in the days of ER and Grey's Anatomy), I gave up straightening my hair one year - a lesson in vanity for sure. I don't think I'm going to give anything up this year.
