I'm not Catholic, but I want to observe Lent

I've done it in years past. Approximately 40 days before Easter I would give up something to honor God and spend extra time in prayer and Bible reading. He delivered me from Pepsi addiction--actually soda addiction one year. Every time I've done it, I have come away closer to God and "revived". I'm thinking about giving up bread, rice & pasta this year. What do you think?

    If God is calling you to fast something for him at any time of year, absolutely do it. However, be sure to check your motives and ask God if he's calling you or if it's just you.
    Fasting (giving up something we enjoy and replacing the time we would be doing it with time spent with God) is a wonderful thing that God does call us to do from time to time. However, he has his own schedule. He might just call you to fast in August.
    What made you start observing Lent?
