Chocolate, cars, commas, and self-criticism
I am giving up Mormon blogs for Lent. This is not to say that I am giving up reading all blogs by Mormons, rather, I am giving up reading the major Mormon group blogs, such as ZD, FMH, T&S, Exponent II, etc. (Happily, everything I miss will be recorded, so I can gorge myself in the archives, come Easter.)

So what is the benefit you'll gain by doing so?
I'm on a no-blogging for lent fast too.
Oooh, I might join you...
Wow, it looks like everyone is giving up blogs or some variation thereof this year. Best of luck!
I'm also curious about the rationale behind nixing the Bloggernacle.

I'm giving up food with vitamins and oxygen. Also: gravity.
eleka & alea - I wanted to give up something that I do a lot, so I would be frequently reminded that it was Lent, but not something that would make me completely miserable. (I used to give up chocolate, but haven't done so since I developed amazing food allergies, because giving up one more food thing just makes me depressed.)
And, let's face it, the Bloggernacle tends to be more squabbly than church-y, anyway, so it's not as if I'm giving up General Conference, or the like.
becca - please do!
I was unaware that Mormons observed Lent. I've always associated it exclusively with Catholic, Orthodox, and some of the Protestant denominations (e.g., Lutheran, Anglican...).
Heh. We don't. But I have a number of friends who started observing it years ago, and I've kept up the habit. I was surprised at how much it improved my spiritual life the first year I did it seriously, so I try to do something every year.
