Lent

It's the Lenten season again, and for the first year ever I'm going to give something up. I realized that Jesus went out in the desert for 40 days to be tempted so that he could be our blameless offering that sets us free, so the least I can do as a follower is try to meet him there. Video games are a huge part of my life, and this year, for 40 days, I shall not play them. It was only after I made that commitment that I realized that I have a LAN party (tons of video games) planned for smack dab in the middle of the 40 days. This poses a potential issue, but I might be able to get away with simply administrating.

Update: Matt's going to buy me a round if I make it the whole time, hah hah!

Thanks! I should be good though, I'm learning a lot so far. Fasting is a great spiritual discipline!
