    Lent Update: 12 Days Without Twitter

    It’s been an interesting 12 days since Lent began. Although there have been moments where I’ve been tempted to open up UberTwitter and tell the “world” what I just saw, smelled, or ate, I can honestly say that the break has been nice.

    • I’ve been able to complete some long overdue projects.
    • I had dinner with an old friend in town on business.
    • I haven’t had one person tell me that I’m not looking at them during our conversation.
    • I literally began reading Crime & Punishment (let’s see how long this lasts).
    • I haven’t been the first person in my sphere of friends to hear about breaking news…and I don’t feel like I’m missing out.
    • I’ve had more time to think about my life and areas where I need to seek God more.

    I’m looking forward to the remainder of Lent and what it has to offer. May I know Him more.

    God our Father, help us to hear your Son.
    Enlighten us with your word, that we may find the way to your glory.
    We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

    Repentance Over Romance: Or Why I’m Giving Up Twitter For Lent

    Growing up in the pentecostal tradition, I did not practice the season of Lent. The only thing I knew about it was that my Roman Catholic friends weren’t allowed to eat meat on Fridays and McDonald’s always seemed to bring out another Filet-o-Fish campaign.

    As I began to study a little more about this season, I fell in love with it. Lent provides Christians everywhere with an opportunity to reflect on priorities and make any needed adjustments to their lives. The major theme of Lent is repentance!
