I was unsure about the fasting part of the experience. I've never sure how giving up chocolate for Lent gets me closer to God. But here is how I have decided to use the fasting. In the morning I have a hard boilded egg to remind me I need nurishment - but just enough. I skip lunch and consider all of the people in the world who are hungry. That has led me to some spiritual pondering as to how do we take care of one another. For dinner, we made a point of eating as a family, soemthing that doesn't happen ofen enogh with our busyness. I saw it as breaking my fast by celebrating my family. I have also "fasted" by not watching TV in the evening and using that time for reading, taking care of myself.... That has been wonderful!!
