Lent



Is lent always supposed to feel like torture? Jesus fasted for 40 days and was then tempted by the devil. So following that model, I'd say yes.

However, this year I've decided to quit torturing myself for lent, and see how that feels.

I've decided to be content for lent.

This may be the most challenging thing I've ever done to honor the season. Will it bring me more joy? Will my family be happier? Will I be able to pull it off?
