Giving up Lentils for lent.
I grew up in a catholic household but I stopped attending church nearly 15 years ago. At first there was a backlash from my parents but they too have seemed to give up on inviting me or pushing me to attend service. I don't have strong opinions about religion. I respect other peoples beliefs. In fact, I think a lot of my fundamental beliefs stem from what I learned in church. I don't lie or cheat or hurt others because of what I learned in church as a child. However, I'm convinced religion is not for me. My "religious" experience is felt at a Radiohead show or during a nice picnic with the family on a sunny day. So when I'm asked tomorrow what I will be giving up for lent, I'll respond with my same old joke, "I'm giving up lentils for lent!" : )
