Adding something for Lent

So Lent is upon us. It is this time of year when most Christians look to giving up something as a way of remembering the sacrifice that our Savior did for us. It’s a wonderful time of year to help us refocus on something that we will never ever fully appreciate.

Technological Detox, and a Little Snowboarding
