1. Fasting increases our sense of humility and dependence on the Lord (for our hunger and physical weakness continually remind us how we are not really strong in ourselves but need the Lord). 2. Fasting allows us to give more attention to prayer (for we are not spending time on eating). 3. [Fasting] is a continual reminder that, just as we sacrifice some personal comfort to the Lord by not eating, so we must continually sacrifice all of ourselves to Him. 4. Fasting is a good exercise in self-discipline, for as we refrain from eating food, which we would ordinarily desire, it also strengthens our ability to refrain from sin, to which we might otherwise be tempted to yield. 5. Fasting also heightens spiritual and mental alertness and a sense of God’s presence as we focus less on the material things of this world (such as food) and as the energies of our body are freed from digesting and processing food. 6. Fasting expresses earnestness and urgency in our prayers: if we continued to fast, eventually we would die. Therefore, in a symbolic way, fasting says to God that we are prepared to lay down our lives that the situation be changed rather than that it continue.

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Balsamic vinegar
1/4	c	Molasses
2	tb	Freshly cracked black pepper
1/2	c	Basil; roughly chopped
3	tb	Garlic; minced
1/4	c	Olive oil
4		Whole boneless chicken breasts**
		Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
4		Peaches; halved and pitted

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: ** 10 to 12 ounces each. If you can't find boneless chicken breasts
with the two halves still attached, substitute 8 halves.
INSTRUCTIONS: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vinegar
to a boil and cook until it is reduced by half, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in
the molasses and black pepper, remove from the heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the basil, garlic and olive oil, and
mix well. Rub the chicken breasts with this mixture, sprinkle lightly with
salt and pepper, and grill over a medium fire, skin side down, until the
skin is crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the breasts over and grill for
another 6 minutes. To check for doneness, nick one of the breasts at the
fattest point; the meat should be fully opaque with no traces of pink.
As the chicken breasts are finishing up, place the peaches on the fire, cut
side down, and grill until they are nicely browned, about 2 minutes. Flip
them over, brush the cut side with the balsamic glaze, and continue to cook
for another 2 minutes. Remove the peaches from the grill, give them another
coat of glaze, and serve whole or sliced with the chicken breasts.
