Focus. Gravity. Rhythm.

Probably one of the most counter-cultural things we can do is not eat.  America is fat and unhealthy.  Despite all the diets and gym memberships we are FLOODED by fast-food, cheap food, too much food, and a complete disregard for a simple ancient practice that is fasting.  I used to fast regularly while I was in college – of course it was easier then b/c I was broke (haha).  I’m making it a point to make this a bigger part of my life.  Someone once asked (quite cuttingly) “what’s the big deal with not eating?”  Sometimes you need to trust people who have followed God over the centuries and even Jesus Himself.  He fasted.  He assumed we would fast.  Our church leaders and writers over the centuries have fasted.  People who fast recommend it.  More later…
