Ash Wednesday
The season of Lent begins today Ash Wednesday.... Lent commemorates the final weeks leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion, and many Christians mark the season with a spiritual commitment or by giving up a habit or behavior for the duration of Lent....Some examples of Lent commitments giving up television, reading through a particular part of the Bible, volunteering at a local food kitchen, and many others....What ever you decide to give up the...point of such a commitment is to focus attention on the person of Jesus Christ....Are you giving up anything to commemorate Lent this year?I am giving up sweets!
