I haven't given anything up for Lent for years. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't work like that! Giving up is easy - trying to be a better person is far harder. I don't know about penance but it's supposed to be also a time of reflection and renewal - I would think that one can liken it to Ramadan although Ramadan seems to be much more sacred to Muslims than Lent is to Christians.<br /><br />Versebender, you definitely got that one right!<br /><br />Polly and Meek, nice to see you here - your pastor got it right too!The Blog of Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650938872732748697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890866550699482561.post-11917177528001954732011-04-17T16:36:41.122-04:002011-04-17T16:36:41.122-04:00The pastor at the church I visited today spoke of ...The pastor at the church I visited today spoke of just this.

I certainly have been less than tolerant. Admitted I never suffer fools gladly but usually can come up with that little smile one reserves for the insane.<br /><br />I used to give up chocolate this time of year but have decided that it is best for me to gobble the stuff because it makes me easier to get along with.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890866550699482561.post-55900290605719141712011-04-15T23:46:51.240-04:002011-04-15T23:46:51.240-04:00Thank you all for visiting - it's been a hard ...Thank you all for visiting - it's been a hard Lent work wise. Amongst other things, a couple of five night long Crusades, the latter testing my patience to the limit especially when so much hard work has gone into it and people don't listen!! But I made it intact, the second finished earlier this evening and as we go into Holy Week I wish you all peace, love and joy.The Blog of Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00650938872732748697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890866550699482561.post-71880772400478742232011-04-14T23:44:47.612-04:002011-04-14T23:44:47.612-04:00Just when we think we are in the perfect moment to...Just when we think we are in the perfect moment to better improve our failings, Old Scratch appears to make it even harder.
