Why do we fast as disciples of Jesus? Because our souls feast on the glory of God. Fasting is an external expression of an internal reality. When we fast for a meal or a day or a week, we remind ourselves that more than our stomachs long for the pleasure of food, our souls long for the presence of God. We are satisfied in Him and by Him in a way that nothing in this world can compare to - not even the basic daily necessity of food. Fasting makes sense as a discipline in the Christian life only if it is connected with desire for Christ. When we fast, we say, “More than we want our hunger to cease, we want your Kingdom to come!”

Puree everything and pour it into an old sauce bottle.  I suspect that this
will keep indefinitely w/o refrigeration since it has so much vinegar in
it--if you know differently, let me know.  (However, my bottle is already
half gone so this may not be a problem.)
>So, what is a mercot?
Ahh, sorry.  It's a kind of citrus, I think a variety of tangerine.  Very
sweet and an excellent flavor.

A Message from our Provider:

“A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride. #C.S. Lewis”
