I've participated in Lent for the last 3-4 years. Last year, I gave up the comfort of sleeping in a bit and woke up every morning at 4:30 to pray specifically for our children. This year, as I prayed about what I should "give up" for Lent (chocolate? coffee? technology?) I felt strongly that I wasn't supposed to give anything up. This year, I was supposed to do something. I sat on my bed one night, Bible open, just staring, waiting for what I was supposed to do. I kinda ... continue reading...

Valentine’s Surf & Turf (Paleo, GF) by Save the Day Seasonings
Instead of eating at an expensive, fancy, crazy busy restaurant for Valentine's Day, keep it intimate and dine in! First thing to know: DON'T BE INTIMIDATED BY THIS RECIPE! Don't have lobster?

My Lent Commitment
I've really been praying about what to do for Lent this year (it starts tomorrow, February 13th and ends Saturday, March 30th). I'm not Catholic, but I find great satisfaction in committing to bettering myself in some way that challenges me to rely on The Lord. Are you familiar with Lent? I really wasn't until a few years ago when Superman was in poor health and I committed to getting up early each morning specifically to pray for him. It was an amazing experience.
