I’ll be spending much less time online - hence, I am posting this now! I am also going to try to follow the Melkite Horologian for daily prayer. I need to find a charitable activity of some kind. My work schedule is pretty busy, but I really want to find something in my area where I can help out. There is a soup kitchen a half hour away. I might try that.

Cigs, and alcohol. Woe is me.

Less time online, more time praying/studying scripture. That’s the goal anyway.

Can one give up 0bama as their POTUS?

[Autonomous User]

I’m giving up drinking beer.....from cans.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Going to give up internet use outside of necessity (so, bye all until after Easter), read the bible from cover to cover again, pray more, eat less, and study the live’s and writing’s of some of the Eastern Catholic saints. Probably hold myself to a stricter than usual exercise regime as well.

[Zuse]

Giving up Free Republic.

It really does not help me personally to be well-informed, and I can use the extra time to pray.

Pretty sure the same types of articles will still be there when I come back after Easter.

[GeorgiaGuy]

I’m giving up radishes. I hate radishes.

[QBFimi]

Giving up? I “gave stuff up” when I was a kid.

Now, at age 70, I see it in another light: What can I ADD in the next 40 days that will strengthen my faith walk and bring me closer to my Master in his walk toward Golgotha?

Tomorrow, for a start, I’ll ADD ashes.

No alcohol. No sweets (I’ll try anyway). More fasting. More prayer. Thinking of what I can do to help someone.

[Mad Dawg]

Im going to read and pray over Cassian’s “Conferences.”

[Mastador1]

Well, I’m not the best Catholic and it shows in what I gave up for lent. I chose something that I have had outside help with from Obama, I have given up income.

[LT Brass Bancroft]

I’m going to try to go old school and give up meat, eggs, and dairy. I don’t know how long it will last, though.

[Salvation]

Working to give up the complaining.

And in its place adding more prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

[Robert357]

Pointing out to my liberal friends on Facebook how stupid and flawed ObamaCare really is. That selfish satisfaction is what I am giving up for Lent.

[jobim]

I am always humbled in the presence of holiness. Your expressions of journeying ever closer with Our Lord in Lent shows holiness of desire. And I humbly fall in beside you good fellows, leaving behind a few things I crave to put into my mouth, a few activities I crave to do, and a few constant sins I crave to commit.

Onward Christian soldiers!

[Technical Editor]

I am going to try to give up my hatred for certain people who do nasty things to other people.

[Catmom]

Six weeks without Pizza Hut could only do a girl good ;)

[momtothree]

I’m giving up pasta and doing a daily prayer. I’ll still make pasta for the family but won’t partake. I was having the discussion about Lent and my 8 year old said she was giving up vegetables. I said, “You really aren’t a vegetable fan to begin with?”. Her response, “Yes... so it will be easier for me to stay away from them and I will succeed”. Nice try little one!

[Trillian]

I’m giving up going to a few websites that are a waste of time. It was hard to think of something for this year since I have almost zero free time.
