Lent

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday.... the start of Lent.  

We were asked to ponder the idea of fasting.  Not just the common idea of fasting - food.... But fasting something that really would be hard to give up.  The result is that during the time of hunger pains or the desire of doing something you really want to do.... you would pray and ask God to fill up that space... to come closer.... to take over the desire... replace it. 

I like this.
