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.“The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.” — Albert Einstein (via john5280)
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’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.
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!
