It is Lent, and many of us are trying to stick to promises to give up chocolate, meat, or facebook. The discipline that this requires is a good way to focus the mind on what is really important to us, whether it makes us appreciate our blessings (like chocolate!) or realize that something we have been spending a lot of time doing (like facebook) distracts us from real relationships.
Lent is also a great time to be more conscious about how we use the Earth's precious resources. Are we appreciating the blessing of God's creation to the fullest? Check out this article from National Geographic for one person's story about becoming a more conscious steward of Earth's blessings.
