Another Way of a Kind of Fasting.

We often take food for granted.

What if we only ate for a day the food that was offered to us.

This can be done as often as once a week...and leads to a kind of fasting that can be done even when visiting family and friends...while being completely silent about it... We might find ourselves more greatful for hospitality. We might feel hunger and identify with the hungry. We would feel the lingering hope of the hungry poor... wondering if they might recieve the gift of broken bread and fish from our hands and the hand of Jesus...

Sharing food...and late night Snacks

I got to share food today with an intern and a co-worker. This meant less calories for me and a deeper sense of friendship with them...

since we got on the topic of the popular Atkin's Diet I thought I would mention my own diet. Randa, our office manager said something funny and profound, "If you always had to find someone to share your food with who was hungry... then this would cut out late night snacking... I mean who's going to go out and look for a homeless friend just to eat that late night snack."

She didn't know that I am a late night snacker... so once again being committed to keep the ties of food and fellowship together will reduce the empty calories that I do not need...

It is a good thing to share...

I have now got a new membership

Yes I am joining the ranks of those who are adding exercise to thier diet. Christmas and New Years family gatherings and Other gatherings just busted my diet and I gained the weight that I had lost right back and some. Pluss I have found it a challenge to get back into the grove.

I have chosen Golds gym on 7th and Fig. cause I can sometimes go with a friend. Pluss I can bring friends free with buddy passes (even if they can't afford it themselves... got to work the tax deductable gift in kind angle for some of my friends who need extra work out for rehab. reasons.)

The hunger of others world wide... why are we afraid... because they are desperate and if we do not do anything about it... they will...

I thought learning to share was a Pre-school leason.
Got Free week in Gym tickets to share ; )
