A Lenten plan for overachievers: Do as little as possible

I am doing as little as I possibly can this Lent.

Let me explain.

You see, I am a bit of an overachiever. A perfectionist. A “beater” as my five-year-old niece would describe herself when it came to competition. I don’t like to agree to do things unless I can do them BIG and RIGHT. And when it comes to God and my relationship with Him, it is no different. And what better season than Lent to pull out all the stops and “go big or go home?”

And we should do big things for God, right?

Yes. Yes we should. But here is the catch for anyone out there who might be a little bit like me.
