Are you giving something up for Lent? Chocolate, biscuits, alcohol, Facebook....the choices are endless. But what do you replace it with? Sometimes it's good to stop something for a while, but we need to beware replacing it with something equally addictive or time-wasting. Can you find more time for God during Lent? Take up reading a small passage of the Bible every day....pray for 5 minutes... read a helpful Christian book.
