From Christianity Today Live Blog:
“What People Gave Up for Lent, According to Twitter”
In the old days religious folks would traditionally give up meat for Lent and eat fish instead for the duration. Now there seems to be all sorts things serious and ridiculous that folks claim to have given up for the 40 day period between Ash Wednesday and Easter.
Number one on the list is Twitter –that I can fully appreciate! But giving up Jesus (#80) and God (#87) seems to be rather counterproductive. Then there are those who say they gave up ‘Charlie Sheen’ (#23) and you just know they cannot be serious.
Take a look at the top 100 –it will give you plenty of pause to consider. Myself? My favorite on the list is McDonald’s (#50). I could do that one without even planning on it. *Top
