I'm just wondering if you ever fast. Fasting is going without something, like without food. That's the most common. It is done quite often in the Bible, for mourning and when something important is asked. As I amf asting today, I was wondering if anyone elses church does. My church has quite afew fast and prayer days.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm finding it hard today, as it is my first fast, and to be honest, I'm not small. I do feel a sort of clear mind, so I'm thinking about fasting more often. Not too often though.

Yeah, I do. But I don't do it as often either. Fasting is for having victory over your own appatite. It's a health and temperance issue.
If you are new you can start with just drinking water or maybe even eating some fruits. Fasting is actually quite good for our health.

Yeh, Amen. I've been having water, well, only one small glass so far. I woke up this morning, not feeling to good and it hasn't gone away. It's not from hunger, just feelin' sick. Dunno why.

Have you seen Danny Viera's DVDs? Google modern manna. He does health evangelism. He teaches people how to fast with juicing.

One thing that's amazing about fasting regularly is that if you are overweight, fasting will help you lose weight. However if you are underweight, fasting will help you gain weight.
