KANSAS CITY — Tara Houx has given up social media, as best she can, for Lent.
It’s harder than she thought. Her 35th birthday came and went without friends knowing how to reach Houx. A friend’s son passed away and there was no easy place for her to find and share information.
For many Lent-observing Christians, the notion of abstaining from online social networks or other tech temptations gained some buzz several years back. Yet just in that time the world has changed, making 40 days without Twitter, Facebook and Instagram a sacrifice too great for most to bear.
Houx, of Olathe, Kan., is soldiering on, having removed the social media apps from her phone when Lent started Feb. 18.
“It’s nice to have the time back,” she said.
