Church Ladies, Lent, and Intermittent FASTING makes the Devil REALLY sad!!!! The Joy of Multi-Tasking!!!! Lent2021 began on Wednesday February 27th and Ends on Saturday, April 3rd. Ash Wednesday was the first day that I was actually allowed eat solid food after a month long fast of clear and full liquids. However, the surgeon advised me that is a strong possibility that the problematic hiatal hernia will return. The best way delay that scenerio is change the dietary habits that aggravated the condition in the first place. Hence, Lent this year is not going be about "giving up" something as is about changing for a better future scenerio. This is going be a multi-tasking venture. starts out as honoring my Catholic ancestors left England because they were being persecuted courtesy of the English Reformation. 's a celebration of the First Amendment and the Freedom of Religious Choice. can take from 18 244 days overcome a bad habit and replace it with a good habit. I am hoping I can do this in about 40 days. Intermittent fasting one day at a time. An 8 hour window of time where eating is permitted and 16 hours for fasting. This is for healthier dietary habits. I am realistic enough know that I am not going live on wheat grass, organic greens, and peppermint tea, ad infinitum. So...........Lent 2021 Day One Cuisine is French Toast to celebrate our WINTER STORM. Grits delivered to my front porch by Amazon Prime. The Eggs came from Chickens belonging the the Preacher's Wife. The Naked Mango Juice came from a care package from Church Lady#1 and the Lion's Mane Mushroom Coffee with Cool Whip came from Church Lady#2. The GOP Church Ladies ROCK!!!! The most important reason for the fast is that it helps God give the Devil a well deserved aZZZZZZZZZZZ kicking. According to the Bible "Fasting kicks the devil's azzzzzzz" (paraphrased) If is a stubborn situation that needs a break through, fasting is the way do . I am not going tell God how do or even or what needs fixing. I can miss the mark but my Higher Power won't. Life on Life's Terms  Abracadabra  |

Isaiah 58 6-7 6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Abracadabra

Everyone has their own reasons for fasting, and even those who profess no religion often fast for health reasons. I'm glad you are feeling better and are choosing to fast because you want to do it, not because you HAVE to do it. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
