ps- arent you suppose to give up something you REALLY like or REALLy enjoy doing because christ gave us his life for you..or something? because im reading around..and people are like, im giving up *insert thing here* because i know it wont be hard. isnt that like..cheating god? |

^Yes, the goal is to give up something difficult, so that everytime you don't have so-and-so, you think of God and the sacrfice you're making. Now, whether someone considers giving up something easy is cheating is upto them. Personally, I see that as taking the easy way out.

If I would seriously do Lent for God and give up something that i'm addicted to, it would be the computer.
AND I WOULD DIE.  It'd be really hard for me.
