Do you think you could do it? Save $5050 in 100 days? Well, some are trying. A new trend on TikTok has people attempting to save money in the ‘100 envelope challenge’. You start with 100 envelopes and some cash, write one number from 1-100 on each envelope, and then shuffle them. Each day you pick up an envelope, and whatever number you draw, you fill it with that amount of cash.
Easy. Right?

Pancake Tuesday, also known as Shrove Tuesday falls on the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the 40-day Lenten season leading up to Easter.
The origin of the tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday is believed to come from a practice of using up rich ingredients such as eggs, sugar and butter, which were traditionally given up for Lent. In order to avoid wasting these ingredients, people would make pancakes to use up the ingredients before they begin their fast. Shrove Tuesday is also meaningful to Christians as it is a day of confession and absolution.
So as you celebrate and repare for the season of Lent, here are some ideas and recipes to inspire you on Pancake Tuesday.

As Christians, we know that family is a vital part of our lives; however, not everyone has the privilege of being able to celebrate Family Day with their loved ones! Whether due to circumstances beyond their control, such as distance or death, or because of strained relationships, not having family to celebrate with on this special day can be challenging. But as followers of Christ, we can find comfort and meaning even in the absence of family.
