Man who gave up "giving up stuff" not overly excited about the end of Lent

BABBLER PRESS - One local Christian who decided to stop giving and to focus more on himself during the 40 days of lent is battling guilt and depression now that it's over. 

The man admitted the lent of 2017 was one of the most wild times of his entire religious life. "I did pretty much whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I ate like a pig and drank like a fish and spent most of my pay-checks on myself. And now it's all over," said the man while choking back tears. The man admitted that his marriage almost ended in divorce, he came close to getting arrested, his kids now hate his guts and he may have lost a couple of life-long friends. 

"I really went nuts there for a while," he said. "I almost lost everything dear to me, including my relationship with God but it felt really good at the time. Now I just feel guilty and depressed. But I can't wait till next year."
