What are you giving up for Lent?

The first day of Lent, the season of preparation for Easter begins on Wednesday, March 9, 2011. It’s traditional to give up something that we do a lot of and that we find pleasure in.
For many people, that may mean 40 days without:

• a particular food or drink
• television
• Facebook
• video games
• shopping
• using a credit card

Sometimes we don’t notice how certain things we do gain power over us.
