Perception.

Here's my viewpoint about Lent, also some thoughts on it.

Though I didn't have ashes placed on my forehead yesterday, I hope that I was able to do that symbolically as I pondered on the meaning and significance of Lent.


Here's a little thought from a town paper: "Giving something up helps me become a better person," said Tony Forgille, who is abstaining from sweets during Lent. He also hopes to eat healthier foods this season. "The ashes remind me of my mortality and that I need to try to do a better job at being a better person. Giving something up helps me actually do that."
