i'm hungry now, and thirsty.

to do a fast according to the times of Ramadan is a good experience, but I guess it could be pretty pointless.

it's probably a bit late and overdue, but i guess i should dedicate my fast to God's glory, the God i believe in. to put into practice some of the self-denial and self-control that Jesus preached.

to be frank one can pull off a fast on sheer willpower. i don't even need that much willpower. but i guess if we dedicate it to God, and see the meaning i can get from it as a Christian, it becomes that much more meaningful.

Christ teaches us to abandon the world, to focus on the spiritual, and fasting from food and drink does teach us these lessons in a very practical way.

and of course a fast is just a diet if we don't read God's Word and commune with the Divine during the duration. so i just read some Psalms, and the devotion from the Daily Bread, and sit down and let my soul (or tried to let my soul) communicate with God.

many people do these things everyday, but i haven't done it in a long while.
