Hunger….

So… I last week I entered and exited a 3 day fast: no food, just juice. Wow, just in those three days I learned some things about myself.

• Thing 1: I learned that I become more attentive to what my stomach is doing throughout the day. Not in an “I’m hungry,” sort of way, but in a way that is almost thanking me more letting it do It’s task of digestion better.
• Thing 2: I also learned that starting and exiting slow is a good idea. (’nuff said).
• Thing 3: I have experienced a burning inside that longs to be satisfied, in much the same way that the Spirit of God dwells within me and burns away the unhealthy desires.
• Thing 4: I am growing more and more comfortable with the notion of Jesus being passionately in love with me and with the Church.

  There you have it: A couple of things that I have learned this past week.
