[QUOTE="angie1, post: 991988, member: 3886"] In our church (Lutheran) it is more a positive change as opposed to giving something up, but maybe the change IS giving something up. The focus is more on what you will do, I think, rather than what you will not do. Sometimes people commit to volunteering in their communities more, reading their bibles, practicing more patience with others and our families, praying with their families etc. I like how you described it as a time of reflection and repentance and spiritual discipline. Certainly dietary changes are appropriate as your body is a temple. In our church people who observe Lent are strongly encouraged to keep their commitments (or even whether or not they are actively observing Lent) to themselves. That being said, I do not actively observe Lent. [/QUOTE]
