GIVING UP FOR LENT........?
« on: March 06, 2007, 11:58:57 AM »

Do people still give up things for lent??  I gave up coffee, my dad gave up sweets, & my mom gave up going back to bed after Dad leaves for work  :D :D (hey, she's retired....))  :D

Dang, Bishop!  ::) Give a sistah a break.....I'm not saying giving up things (sacrificing) is a Biblical command, nor am I denying the fact that this practice has its roots in Catholicisim.  Just askin' a question, dude!  >:( :D ;)

I almost said the same thing as Bishop! LOL!  :D

Why give up a bad habit for a season and then reclaim willfully it? LOL!  :D

Not to mention doing all kinds of other crap while you're giving up your one thing temporarily.

Edit: Many, not all.

Usually my old church had a fast around this time, even though they were apostolic. They never mentioned lent, but just a fast. Alas, Im not there, so no I did not participate.

Given these replies, that leads me to another question:  does anyone's church recognize this particular season (Lent) leading up to Easter (or Resurrection Day)?

I ain't giving up nothing.  My church as a whole doesn't recognize it, but there are a few people in the church who do.
