Easter Season
I think about celebrating Lent every year. You know, giving something up. This year, I decided to temper my self-indulgence. It was a good experiment. Sometimes I called a friend instead of playing a game on the computer. Other times I read the scriptures instead of the newspaper. Little things that kept Jesus on my mind.

I've never participated in lent, but every year I think it's a good idea. "Why not give up chips?" But if it's good enough for me to give up for 40 days (or however long lent is), why don't I give it up permenantly?
Good luck! Call me anytime :)
I gave up reading and sudoku for a week, on a non-Lent, but related experiment. Obviously you can't not read forever, but it really pointed up how much time I spend in made-up worlds, instead of in the real one outside my book...
That's an excellent idea. I keep thinking that they're keeping a record in heaven of all of the HOURS I spend on the computer or watching tv vs. the MINUTES I spend reading my scriptures. Yikes!
