Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, Bobkc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-70149543169340947542008-02-14T12:08:00.000-08:002008-02-14T12:08:00.000-08:00I understand this, and all my Catholic friends tel...I understand this, and all my Catholic friends tell me this. . .but Jesus sacrificed and died for us so that we may live in joy. Lent is not a scriptural thing..in fact its roots are in paganism.<BR/>If we're going to give up something for 40 days, we probably should give it up for good. I certainly need to think about that.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203594257221430139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-82631794343892764832008-02-14T09:30:00.000-08:002008-02-14T09:30:00.000-08:00Karen,I don’t believe it is in the Bible.

I will say that when I gave up speaking ill of “W” I was very surprised at how many times I wanted to speak of him in a manner that is less than kind. It was good for me to see how much I need to keep quiet when these things hit my mind. Being a political year I’ll not give it up. I like the idea of taking up something good for me and my family. For forty days and hope that we can keep it going even after. If you can spend forty day honoring God by sacrificing and hopefully giving the very thing that you gave up for a brief time then I am all for it.Millyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676326805474564427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-60351204719136055582008-02-14T07:51:00.000-08:002008-02-14T07:51:00.000-08:00Okay...where in the Bible is the concept of Lent?Okay...where in the Bible is the concept of Lent?karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203594257221430139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-57435301879098018282008-02-13T20:35:00.000-08:002008-02-13T20:35:00.000-08:00Mark you worked out!!!!!!Or do you mean working ou...Mark you worked out!!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Or do you mean working outside the home? <BR/><BR/>You gave that up a bit ago. <BR/><BR/>That ain't much given up.Millyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676326805474564427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-89392690901208690772008-02-13T20:33:00.000-08:002008-02-13T20:33:00.000-08:00tye-dye Meg,You are getting it very right and you ...tye-dye Meg,<BR/>You are getting it very right and you are welcome to speak up here.

Once my son started saying all the bad words I did the opposite of what a good mom should...instead of teaching him not to, I joined him :(Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24015530.post-86358249125926113962008-02-13T07:24:00.000-08:002008-02-13T07:24:00.000-08:00Lovely.

I loved it, and you can glean a lot from it, but it isn't a kid book.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Miss Littles can tell you about her insights when you read it--and share with us!Patchoulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681032095827529717noreply@blogger.com
