I'm Presbyterian so we both have some Catholic influences in our beliefs.

Somewhat unrelated...but I got pizzed at myself yesterday. I'm usually a very helpful, courteous person, but I wasn't. I was at the gym finishing up a workout so was in the stretching/ab area. I saw this bigger emo looking chick sitting in the corner, appearing to stretch, but she looked somewhat distressed and I couldn't put my finger on it. At the gym, I'm a lone wolf. I get in the zone and don't like to talk to anyone, or have them talk to me, but I could tell somewhat was amiss. I finished stretching and went to the locker room where I found big girl crying to an employee there saying she "lost her balance while stretching and 'snapped' her ankle". Well, we all know it wasn't broken, but I still feel like a d!ck because I was being selfish. Lent to me, is rectifying these wrongs and becoming a better person. The End.

lol yes. So 1. she was a big ol gal. Kinda resembled that fat, emo guy from the Butterfly Effect. 2. She had her leg up on like a bar thing to stretch her hamstring. Lost balance and fell.

Anyone big on this deal? I'm not Catholic, but I'm thinking of giving up cold beer for 6 weeks. Mainly to just say I did it. Gave up beer one year for lent. So instead I drank whiskey. Wife was not happy

I'm Catholic and have always done Lent. Instead of giving things up, the past couple of years I have done things like help others more and just be a better person. And this is what I mean. What you give up is you give up time, you give up your comfort zone, you give something real instead of something worldly.

Methodist here. Lot of Catholic influences in our church. Lent is a big deal. I'm gonna try giving up bread, potatoes and pasta. Sure was hard to eat my bacon and eggs without toast or a bagel this morning. Gonna be even tougher the further we go.

I grew up Baptist so it was a new deal for me after getting married.

How about adding something. Add a time to read the bible, or pray. Just a suggestion. Good thought there Dip! Didn't give anything up but added more Bible reading. 10 chapters a day on my Read through the Bible.
