It has been interesting to read your thoughts on lent. I grew up Catholic, so I know first-hand about giving things up! But then someone shared the real reason for Easter with me: the fact that Jesus died to pay for each of our sins so we could go to heaven when we die. I don"t "DO" religion anymore, either....I now have a living relationship rather than a dead religion. Feel free to email me off group if you would like to know from the Bible how you can know for sure you will go to heaven........Linda in KY
