A Lenten Thought: Fasting

Posted in Spiritual Life, tagged , on February 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Fasting.  Now, there’s a word to strike fear into the heart of any chubby (or, for that matter, any twiggy) who enjoys food. 
True confession:  I enjoy food.  I love the taste of it, everything from the sweetness of a perfect Thin Mint cookie to the tang of the hot and sour soup served at my [...]
