PolyTrio-Lo

So last week i sought out to do something i havent done in a long time. I had a friend who really taught me the discipline of Fasting and it was something i used to practice regularly. I know, its weird. I always think that from the outside looking in, Christians look like weirdo's....not eating food, drinking blood, singing songs to the air....

Anyway, i decided to Fast last week, in light of some MAJOR life decisions we are making.

This is the first time i have done it with two kids. Its rather hard. I fasted for about 2 days straight...and in this time....i may have prayed less and focused less....its just quite hard with kids.

Not because they are a burden, at all. But my mind and body are constantly focused elsewhere. This makes the discipline quite different.

I would not at all say that the fast was a waste. I dont do it as a means to an end, as much as to practice the discipline and let God work through it, its just that spiritual disciplines take a new look when you go from so-lo to...Polytrio-lo or something.
