I completely understand not being able/willing to sit quietly. It is hard for me, too. Thanks! I completely understand not being able/willing to sit quietly. It is hard for me, too.

I think this is great! I came from a church that didn't put a lot of emphasis on Lent and although I don't observe all the traditions with it this year I plan to give up TV during naptime. I think sometimes I am unwilling to just be quiet so I am going to use that time to rest, read and spend time in the word. This post was just what I needed to take the plunge :) I’m linking back to your post today. I think this is great!

I have never given up anything for Lent. Growing up Baptist, it was predominately considered a Catholic thing to do. ;-) But I think anything that helps you grow closer to God and overcome strongholds is a positive thing, and something I should seriously consider.

Growing up, it was always the "Catholics" thing to do, but after prayer, reading, etc, it made sense to do it for my own soul. It's a perfect time of FORTY days to grow closer to God, fast from things we add into our lives that we don't NEED, and maintain discipline to refocus on what is important. That social media one has me thinking... This year I al following along with a book titled "A Place at the Table" by Chris Seay. It's 40 days of solidarity with the poor, basically eating like them and using the grocery monies we don't spend on a cause that helps to feed the poor..in true fasting nature. Great post, btw.

Lots of clothes shops opening up with fancy cupcake tables or displays to attract the customers. If I saw these, i'd choose them just for having the HERSHEY's cocoa.
