Lenten Reflections

I cannot take credit for the passage below. I received it in an email from Westiminster Presbyterian in Greensboro, and really liked it. This year, I have not "given up" anything for Lent since I am often lucky to keep anything down (foodwise) these days, but I do like the idea of fasting from discontent, worry and anger...
