As you know, we had Ash Wednesday services yesterday and are now in the 40 day season of Lent.
My wife and kids talked about what we would give up for lent as our sacrifice and that got me thinking.........would I (or any of you of course) give up guns and/or shooting over Lent since you are supposed to make a sacrifice of something that would be tough for you to go without for those 40 days?
That would be tough for me to do, but of course due to safety concerns I would not be able to give up guns/shooting for Lent in good faith. Besides that........temptation would literally be all around me and even though I'm a strong person, I think I would end up faltering if that was my Lenten sacrifice.
