I ...Thanks. I'm going to the dentist on Thursday.<br /><br />I don't see fasting as something that is necessary in the Christian life. My experience is that it brings some people to a deeper intimacy with the Lord, but it doens't work for all. There's a lot of reasons why it can be a hindrance or a distraction (health, theology, etc.), so I have to be really careful that my endoresements of fasting don't sound like condemnations of NOT fasting. I once heard someone say "don't fast unless you can't stand not to."RachelRenaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032395594956578140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32084505.post-90306227087898399882006-10-27T19:20:00.000-04:002006-10-27T19:20:00.000-04:00Rachel, kudos on the working out!

It's hard to keep it up, but well worth the rewards. :)<br /><br />I think it's awesome that you fast regularly, or are getting back into that practice. I have never done it, more out of a fear of passing out from a lack of food than anything else. God is still working on me in that area and many others.<br /><br />I hope your jaw gets better soon. I'm sure that's annoying and worrisome.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882986418255078605noreply@blogger.com
