We always observed Lent - mom explained that we were honoring the sacrfice God & Christ made for us, putting Christ above whatever we were giving up.Dad always gave up watermelon & canteloupe. We usually did sweets or chocolate. Nothing better than a Cadberry Egg Easter morning. I will be praying for you!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505879512315025916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670802522286109118.post-9216583444588739752009-02-26T20:59:00.000-06:002009-02-26T20:59:00.000-06:00Hello my fellow boy momma!

I was raised in a Method...Oh my I hear ya, me too. I was raised in a Methodist Church from birth to age 15. When I was 15 we changed to the First Baptist Church down the street because there had been several other families move from our church and my parents wanted us (myself, sisters, and brother) to be in a church with a strong and active Youth group. And the Baptist Church is where it's at around here. We have been attending that church for 15 years now. And there are some things that just drive me nuts too...and some things I just don't get. I don't want to bash either, it's just different. And yes, I believe God can teach and use us ANYWHERE. We just have to be open and willing to Him and His Will. <BR/><BR/>I have never participated in Lent, either. I appreciate your research and information on the subject! Maybe this is something for me to consider as well. What denominations observe Lent? Why don't Baptists? Hmmm. <BR/><BR/>I had to smile at your dessert scenerio :-) I have left many a restaurant all huffy because Jack was too full for dessert...first of all, how can you EVER be too full for DESSERT?? And I certainly wasn't going to be the only one at the table who orders dessert! Or like when I want to go by the ice cream place and he says, "well I don't want one but I'll stop for you." Uh, NO. Nevermind. Huffy. teehee<BR/><BR/>Have a great Thursday, Keri!*Erica*https://www.blogger.com/profile/01188694770996705303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670802522286109118.post-29181685920090355262009-02-26T00:31:00.000-06:002009-02-26T00:31:00.000-06:00Well, you're doing this for all the right reasons,...Well, you're doing this for all the right reasons, which makes it very hard to cheat!

I always admired her dedication even as a child.<BR/><BR/>I think it's great that you don't claim a denomination. I was raised in an independent Baptist church then in an SBC, then my husband did as associate pastor job at a Pentecostal church (his upbringing)...then we went to an SBC which everyone thought was non denominational. I say all that to say, I'm feelin' you.<BR/><BR/>I like 1 Cor. 1:10-15 when it comes to denominations. It doesn't say 'denomination' but 'I follow...' and 'I follow . . .' but the heart of the dialogue is the same, I think.Anita J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13937990318873239017noreply@blogger.com
