Lenten Resolutions?

[athrock]

First of all, I hope you had a happy and joyous Mardi Gras! Let's hope you didn't have too many drinks or collect too many beads... if you know what Im saying .

However, the fun and festivities of Mardis Gras shall soon be finished and the solemnity of Lent is close at hand.

Here is an illustration, to help you understand what lent is all about : http://www.ncregister.com/images/uploads...336416.jpg

It is where Jesus retreated to the desert to fast and commune closer to his father (who was also himself!)

During this lententide, we too are afforded the opprotunity to get close to the lord our God.


For this lent, I plan on giving up cookies, Ice cream, and using the internet recreationally. You may not see me on here for too much longer (except for Sundays. You can take those off )

How do you all plan to spend your lent? Made any "lenten resolutions?"

Please let me know. Blessings!!

Probably giving up posting in this forum in order to spend the time reading good spiritual books.
