She Thinks She's Witty

I've never had much success in the give something up for Lent  department. In college I did try fasting during daylight hours. It was a suggestion from my dad based on a religion that, I'm sorry to say, I can't remember anymore. It seemed like an interesting way to work through Lent and I think I made it through a week and then gave up. This year, I stumbled upon a book called Writing to God  by Rachel Hackenberg (who I found  out is from Lancaster, PA!) and thought it looked like a really interesting devotional. I ordered it with a Christmas gift card and, only after I had it in my hands, did I notice the subtitle to the book: 40 Days of Praying with my Pen . I thought, 40 days? That's an odd number for a devotional. Then I thought, There are 40 days in Lent...  and I read the intro. That's when it clicked. The devotional I had ordered was specifically designed to follow you through Lent. Doesn't have to be 40 days of Lent, but that was the original thought...
