This is why: My story

The closest I ever came was a letter. I kept that letter for a year in a small drawer on the right side of my desk, where it sat until I folded it up and tucked it into the trash while I was packing to leave for my first semester in college. I had kept it all that time not because I still felt like I did when I wrote it, but because it reminded me I was alive and that I had made the conscious decision to stay so.
Make this Lent count
Friday, Feb. 6, 2015
Traditionally, Lent is a time of preparation for Christians, in imitation of the 40 days Christ spent fasting in the desert. But whether you're Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist or none of the above, you should be giving something up for Lent this year. It's a good character builder and a practice in humility, a really underappreciated virtue around here.
