Today is Fat Tuesday; the day we can have all of our indulgences before the beginning of Lent tomorrow on Ash Wednesday. As I am sitting at my computer, thinking of all the school projects that need to be finished and the housework that needs to be done, I'm pondering what to do for Lent. Traditionally, folks "give up something" to show sacrifice for all that Jesus gave. I once had a pastor who suggested we "take on something". I had already decided that I will begin a devotional reading plan during Lent on my tablet computer. I am also trying to be more principled at exercising, so I am going to add those two things to my daily routines during Lent.
What are your thoughts on Lent? What is your "take" on the idea of giving up something vs. taking on something?
