I never implied that a one day fast was unimportant, or ineffective, and you seem to be ignoring the fact that this was your allusion.

I apologize.

When you said "One day is nothing..." I assumed that the word "nothing" meant "insignificant, unimportant or inneffective"

Had you said "One day is nothing for me..." I would have realized that you were simply boasting and ignored the post without comment. I understood you to mean that you were belittling those who were not used to fasting or who could only do it for one day.

I have read all the posts, and if you had read all of them, you would find people who had never fasted before or were hypoglycemic or had some other medical condition hindering them. Have compassion on them and don't let your abilities become a stumblingblock to those less able than you.

In my opinion, fasting can take several forms.

On occasion, I just fast TV or the Internet. I don't watch much on TV, outside of Fox News.

I even fasted this site for 40 days one time.

That was tough.

I do believe that fasting for this election is a very worthwhile effort.

My aunt was healed of MS a few weeks ago, and I can say it was in part tied to fasting and prayer in our family.
