Lent Season

So it's lent season, and you're probably wondering what is lent? In christian and catholic religions, lent is a forty day long season of fasting and praying before Easter. I won't go into deep details of what lent is, and its origins only for religious reasons. But because of my religion, I must participate in this season every year. During lent, it's typical that one must sacrafice something that they're addicted to during the forty day season. This year, I chose to give up chocolate. This is extremely hard for me because I love chocolate. I won't say I'm addicted to it, but I do love it a lot. Even though currently I'm on a strict diet, and I don't eat that much chocolate anyways, it's still very hard to go through the temptations. I was thinking about giving up something as well, but I'm still debating on it. It'll probably end up being Facebook, since I'm always on facebook. But then again, that would be really hard as well because I have the facebook application on my blackberry. The purpose of this is to sacrafice something just like Jesus did when he spent forty days in the desert with no food, and resisted many temptations. It is also a way to cleanse our soul and take away unnecessary things that we accompany everyday of our lives.
