Vanderbilt student and devoted Christian, Micah Smith, reports that he is giving up God for Lent this year. Lent is a six week period, this year beginning on February 14th and ending March 29th.

Upon his return to his former high school in Tampa, Florida, Vanderbilt first-year Stephen Williams was met with worship, awe, and reverence. Current high school seniors lined up before the now-deity for several miles, each prepared with a bouquet of roses and at least fifteen questions about how to get into Vanderbilt and what college is like.
