Today is the first day of Lent, a season that I have come to value more and more. The whole concept of giving up something you enjoy during Lent is to practice self denial. This year I’m giving up snacks…it is now 2:30 pm and there is chocolate in the next room calling to me. If I can’t say “no” to candy, how can I learn to say no to those things that would poison my soul?
To observe Lent is to join with countless other followers of Jesus Christ through the centuries who have prepared their hearts to live the Jesus way.
