Blog Fast...And Blogging about Fasting...
This week I am fasting, and as part of that I'm reducing my computer time to a scant 30 minutes a day. Basicly, I'll be checking email and posting over at Solid Rocks Ministry blog as I 'live blog' my fast.
Why live blog my fast? I know the bible talks about keeping it to myself and such, but I felt I could offer encouragement to others (and be encouraged) by talking about it in real time as opposed to teaching on it after I've been through it and 'prettied it up' a bit. Besides, I'm not making suffering the point: I'm making a point of bringing the flesh into submission, emptying myself out to make room for God, and drawing closer to Him. If I begin boasting of my suffering, than I have failed because my heart is no longer in the right place.
So check out Solid Rocks Ministry, which is a consortium of some of the Christian bloggers from Minnesota and beyond.
I'll be back here next week.
