Tomorrow is the first day of Lent. I have never done it before, but after witnessing one of my good friends revere this holy period, I figured I might as well join him. I have decided to start out small: I am only giving up Dr. Pepper. I may increase the things I give up each week (like next week I am considering giving up meat) or I may just wait until next year to go all out. Either way, I am doing this because I need to give something up that I am very comfortable with. I have no idea what to expect; whether I will learn to have a better relationship with God or just have nothing happen at all. I just pray that it does something. I have talked to a few of my friends about this, and none of them have said they are going to give up anything. The only one who has is my girlfriend, Alysa, who is going to give up meat. I may do the same at some point. As for now, I'm just going to do it and wait for a sign from God as to what else to give up. God be with me.
Brother in Christ,
