It’s Ash Wednesday, the first of the 40 days of Lent. Many Christians make fasting a part of their Lenten season. Some give up a meal a week, others a meal a day. Some fast from one type of food. Others give up something other than food (social media, anyone?).
After several talks with God, I decided to give up sweets. My goal is to become less attached to the sweetness of the world, more attached to the goodness of God’s Word.
