Lenten season will be here soon

[Charlie Marlow]

What are you giving up this year?

 

[WHCSC]

I like to think in terms of adding good things instead of just giving up things.

 

[SeaOfRed75]

Going to church.

The Tennessee football series/games.

On a serious note…I take a break from social media, message boards and try to limit my technology use outside of work.

And of course you post a question without answering it yourself…par for the course.

I do that just to annoy you. Not giving that up

It doesn’t annoy me…just trying to increase your post count.

It’s a legit question. Maybe you can tell us what your brother-in-laws are giving up for Lent?

Every year I give up eating meat for Lent

Every year I give up eating meat for Lent

A couple years ago the Archdiocese of Chicago issued a decree stating that people who give up meat for Lent, or just on Ash Wednesday and Lenten Fridays, should not eat plant-based burgers either. The archbishop said that eating an Impossible Burger or a Beyond Meat burger was not in the spirit of the season.

So at the bottom of the news article, in the comments section, I asked:

"Okay, but what about eating fake meat as penance?"

I got a lot of likes, but no response from the Church.

Tried that one year, and made it about 3 days and I was all out of sorts. It’s a very difficult challenge, and while admirable, I wonder if it isn’t something that is a net negative from a health standpoint.

carbohydrates.

I've given up beer/alcohol for Lent but I also have a wonderful mother in law who told me something about Sundays don't count because they're not part of the 40 days of Lent. God bless her and Sunday beers!
