40 day fast? :/ why 40 days?! i can understand 3 or 4.

Well Jesus fasted for 40 days while he was in the desert.

yes, but i think he had other reasons. :/ what is your purpose? is it just because the church is doing it too? (i'm not trying to be offensive, btw)

Yes that's the reason, my parents are on the board and so the board decided it to be 40 days long.

i do feel bad for you cause i think it should be a smaller amount of days. fasting is good for your body, just not 40 days. it can destroy your health and deprive your body of the nutrients it needs. :/ i'll pray you make it! ♥

I'm just fasting the computer for one hour I'm still eating! haha! I love food I don't know if I could give up food. :(

Back in the Bible days when the would fast food it was because the didn't have technology so it took forever to make food all day practicaly. So when they fasted it was for like 3 or 4 days (just like Esther and her people did be fore she went to the king) and it wouldn't be that bad.

But I'm doing good I'm not missing the computer much, my friend let me borrow a huge book that has three books in one! It's called the Merlin Trilogy by Mary Stewart and I'm so a huge Arthurian legend fan so I had to read it. So far it's really good. :D
