Traditionally, Christians fast during this time before Easter. Did you give up something for Lent?
- No meat on Fridays for me
- I gave up sweets
- I’m fasting from Facebook and Twitter
Without the spiritual component, fasting from certain foods is just a diet. And giving up meat doesn’t mean much if your favorite item on the menu is fish.
I’m fasting from certain time-wasters on the internet. It is tempting to think it ‘s just an exercise in better time management.
Lead me not into the temptation to make Lent all about me.
Amen!
