Happy beginning of Lent!
I always never really payed attention to the whole "Jesus fasting for 40 days" thing because I thought "So? That's really cool, but after all, he was Jesus. He could do a lot of things we couldn't!" and in past years, I just gave up ice cream or chocolate or something, but this year I decided to give up something that isn't food. I think it should be something that actually takes up some of my time so then I can spend that time reading the bible or talking to God or something. Or something that I might not realize I'm so attached to (like sugar..) and then when I start, I have to really discipline myself to not do or eat.

When I was little I used to give up broccoli. Such a good child I was. :)
