Lent

[highspeed]

With Ash Wednesday being next week, what are y'all giving up or gaining next week? I'm giving up beer, sodas, & sweets. Going to gain some sort of exercise when time allows.

Cold turkey?

Is it a sin to pretend to be Catholic in order to have gotten the fried fish on Fridays at the DFAC? Asking for a friend.

Cold turkey?

Why of course. I'm done with it.

Still trying to figure out how they conned everyone into thinking fish isn't meat.

I’m giving up lent for lent .

Told the wife I’m giving up sex for lent, she better get all she can handle for the next two days.

She doesn’t know I’m not serious lmao. I’ll give up something else, but not that. I can only play that card once, figured might as well play it now while I’m still young enough to enjoy it lol

I've read the entire bible a few times. I guess I missed Lent in the Word.

But I love thin, crispy catfish. Bring it on!

I was taught that the 40 days of lent and sacrifice were to honor the 40 days that Jesus went into the desert and fasted and prayed. I didn't do it every year but will this year. I really see no negatives about it. More praying daily and sacrificing something to at least make me reflect more daily on Jesus' journey up to His Crucifixion will be good.
