My sister-in-law and the funniest friend I have ever had, Rachel, are both catholic. I have to admit, Lent has always seemed pretty neat to me, but I only truly found out the reasoning behind it over the last 10 years. Basically, you make a sacrifice, as Jesus made a sacrifice for us, and remember the 40 days of prayer and fasting that he did. Thus Lent lasts 40 days. There is actually other stuff involved, but this is all I have ever observed, and no matter how small my 'sacrifice' has been, it is NEVER easy. Obviously this year my sacrifice was very lofty! I decided to give up (drum roll please), desserts & sweets and white bread and white rice. I am a moron. Truly, what was I thinking? Every day has been sheer torture and we are not even half way through this! Everything has white bread and every cell in my body craves chocolate. My little girl is a choc-o-holic (she gets this from me) and as she ate a Swiss roll sitting on my lap last night, offered me half and just laughed. She is three...but I almost took her down. I am telling you, that some chocolate bunny doesn't stand a chance on Easter morning, and God willing, I might just put it between two prices of bread! Haha
