The topic of Lent is brought up because my friend Kerry is honoring Lent by cutting out her salty snacks. JJ is cutting out sodas. I have decided that in an act of solidarity, I too will cut something from my life. I even told my two friends so that I can be held accountable. I am cutting out pastries of all kinds, and side dishes. Side dishes meaning French fries, garlic bread, chips, stuff like that. If I can manage to pull that from my daily food intake, I'll be in good shape. Caveats and exceptions: Chipotle chips with my salad nachos, and waffles fries at Oregano's.
Because I opted in to Lent, in my own peripheral and non-Jesus way, JJ has upped her sacrifice by also cutting fried foods. I will not be doing that, because if I cut all fried foods I'd like die from starvation. I'm trying to figure out what I can add to my Lent to even the stakes, but I feel like ditching the pastries is a pretty big thing.
So quick question: Is Lent all about food products? Wine? Sugar? Or is it behavioral, too? So like no gum chewing or nail biting, or farting in a kitchen? What does Lent entail entirely? Time to Google God stuff, I guess.
