Re: Lent
A couple of years ago, I gave up beer for Lent, not that I was, nor am I now a heavy drinker, but I then put aside the money I would have spent, and donated it to our church's mission service. This year, I am taking all of my change that I get get back from any cash purchases, and donating that. Our Church,, the Sunday after Easter, have a "Great day of Service" where we forego worship service, and go out into the community and perform various service acts. Mowing lawns for the elderly, building wheelchair ramps, picking up trash along the roadways, etc. It is not a tradition I grew up with, but it does help to put my focus more towards God, and the sacrifice of Jesus.
