Men,
As we move into day 3 of our fast, I am struck by a few things. First, I am definitely hungry!!!! (liquids only) But, I am really fine. They say it takes 2-3 days to get the toxins out of your body. I think I feel those toxins leaving!!! I can feel myslef a little more tired, a little more irritable. I do think this is part of how God gets my attention. I also feel like I am thinking more clearly, because my body and mind (no sports) is less cluttered. As Binita and I wrestle with what to do with her aging parents, I feel like I need that clarity. We are going to be making some important decisions in the next few days/weeks.
Stay strong in His strength.
Pat

As some of you may know, I work in a trade-room where there is constantly a TV on so we can stay up-to-the-minute with market news. Now this may seem a rather difficult situation when doing a media fast. The problem is that we don't always watch CNBC as we should. Many times we'll watch ESPN or the E! channel. Thankfully the Lord gave me an out today: paper shredding. The constant hum of the shredder provides an excellent semi-solitary environment for prayer and meditation during the day. And although it's a menial task, it still needs to be done. I feel it allowed me to honor God and my employer by making the most of down time.
More from Romans (12:1)
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life--and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.
