Why Just For Lent?

I have run across a couple of people who are giving up things and/or doing something more for Lent. That's fantastic, but I have a question...

Why just for Lent?

Have you ever noticed we have put rhythms in our lives to start or try new things, but we also put times for them to end? We come up with resolutions for the new year, we do things at Lent, some people do things at Advent too. But why do we put ourselves in a box and only better ourselves for that period of time?

Here's my challenge. Start praying more. Start today. What's the significance of today? Nothing, other than it's today and you can start today. And end... well, never if you can help it.

What's one thing you can do to grow closer to God that doesn't start and end by a calendar date?
