Lenten fast

This seems a different topic, slightly any way. You get two blogs today.

Ash Wednesday was a week ago. I decided to give up caffeine for Lent. I have not done a "fast" in a while. This is mostly a small discipline. I don't miss caffeine but I eat and drink it a lot. I don't really think caffeine is bad for you. I just need a small disciple because I am very bad at fasts.

I'm not sure what I expected, nothing really. But God has blessed my puny effort I think. I think it is because of this that I am encouraged to work on other small disciplines (that add up). I think they especially add up in God's eyes who truly loves me (us) very much and wants to encourage any sign of spiritual life.

Yes God has blessed me by giving me the wisdom to give up my Facebook games. I am just not going to be ruled by them. I have found things I need to do are being pushed aside. I may come to them occasionally but I am not going to worry about game deadlines.

I am not giving up Evony, my online mostly text war game. But I have installed a "bot" to help me with all the pressure of keeping my imaginary troops fed.

Anyway I praise God for giving me a blessing from my very little effort at fasting.
