At the Table: 40 Days of Solidarity with the Poor (Experi-Lent)

I am excited about this Lenten season, especially since I am participating in "Experi-Lent" with my church (in case you are wondering, my pastor coined that term lol). Around this time every year, the question arises: What will I give up for Lent? In the past, I have given up my ipod and television. This year, I am doing something more radical. On Tuesday night, Pastor Chris Seay spoke at my church about a 40 day Lent experience where he ate a diet consistent with most other countries in the world, those impoverished nations. His diet consisted of: beans, rice, chicken, salad, and tortillas. While in church, I thought that this would be a challenge for me and an opportunity to grow in the Lord.

I've decided to pick a specific Compassion country and eat something from their staple diet. As soon as I decide more specifics, I will post again. I'll also try to post every few days abou tthe progress of my expeirence. So excited to get started!!
