The Civil War

Is the Civil War worth it's fascination in American History? And, what if the South won? Would the US still be split over the states rights issues?

FASTING!

What is it? Not eating! Why do you do it? To attain a type of cleansing and spiritual clarity! When do you do it? Whenever you feel the need.

Jews have Yom Kippur
Christians have Lent
Muslims have Ramadan
Buddhists have most anytime! Buddha LOVED fasting.
And Hinduism--well, Gandhi wasn't exactly portly.

In this space, post about your fasting experience and what can be learned from the process. Is fasting important, or just an interesting sidelight to a faith?

Please fast for at least 12 hours, but I say--GO FOR THE 24!
