Lent

So went to mass last night for Ash Wednesday of course. All the while thinking of what I should give up for lent. Father Conrad starts his Homily and asked everyone what they were giving up for Lent. People start yelling out "cookies, candy, soda, chocolate..." and yeah. Then he says "Oh k, I say to you, NO! EAT more Candy, drink more soda eat all the chocolate you can. For all of those things are superficial!" I go...huh. Then he goes on to say "instead of giving up, give more. Take time out of your day to promote more time to prayer, to helping others, to being more like Jesus's example." In others words, give up some of your time to being a better person, is how i see it anywaise.

SO, for this lent of 2009, I give up some of my time to reading the Bible an hour everyday and prayer at least twice a day. I only pray once a day, and have never read the Bible my whole life. I think it's time for me to become a more faithful person. Which in turn, i believe will make me a better person.
