Former President Herbert Hoover is remembered for many things, one of them being rationing efforts to support the troops. A new word was coined “hooverize” which referred to going without. Tomorrow Christians start the season Lent, which is also a time of going without to draw our selves closer to God. Whether we do without food to support the government or as a spiritual discipline, we show a willingness to sacrifice for something we believe in. I have not decided what I will “give up” for Lent.
