I'll give up something. Kel Send a noteboard - 16/02/2010 02:02:02 PM
1. Do you observe Lent?

Yes.

3. What does your observance of Lent typically entail? Giving things up, taking things on, or something else?

I usually give up something that I really like or want.

4. What's the hardest thing you've ever given up/taken on/something else?

Hmmm.. dunno, but a good question.

5. What, if anything, are you planning to do for observing Lent this year?

I'm giving up carbonated soft drinks (Coke, ect.. ). I usually have at least two of these a day, so maybe I can come out of Lent a bit healthier, physically and spiritually.

6. Do you observe Sundays as feast days (and as such, exempt from fasting/abstinence), considering that the 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Holy Saturday don't include Sundays?

Not usually, I generally stay with my original plan.

Six is a good number. I'll stop here.

Six.. could be as bad as one.. it's the loneliest number since the number one.

Is it weird that I really like Lent? - 16/02/2010 05:21:54 PM 583 Views
Perhaps it is. But, less so than lint, I'm thinking. - 16/02/2010 05:25:28 PM 627 Views
