Fasting

When uncle joe challenged us to write a personal mission statement for our lives i wrote something to the effect of having a Heavenly trajectory for my life and honestly haven't been keeping to that statement. Lately i feel like my mind's been drifting Ed-ward instead of God-ward (haha get it, get it?). Been thinking about doing a 3 day fast next week to get refocused back on God - anyone else interested in doing this with me?

Step 1: Don't eat.
Step 2: Pray when you should be eating.

Doesn't have to be all 3 meals of the day or even about food, the whole point of fasting is to shed stuff that pulls us from God.
