This Lent I'm not working on giving things up. This Lent I'm working on readjusting a few things.
Lent is a time for giving up, it's true, but it's also a time of spiritual strengthening. We do our training during the desert time of Lent. And the beauty of that is that with time, we become, much, more fulfilled people by what we gave up or resisted. It's like a very specific self-help program, once a year.
But the focus of Lent has always been, and will always be for me, about values. What things, people, ideas, and causes do you value? What kind of people do you want in your life and what values do they have?
Lent is a celebration of becoming better, so that when the worst things happen, we can become better people overall.
