Fast from gossip,

Add things to your schedule — like extra prayer, extra acts of mercy, maybe going and praying in front of a Planned Parenthood two days a wekk rather than just one day a week.

Fasting for smarting off to family members and to co-workers, fast from the dirty language and take the bad words out of your vocabulary.

Drive the speed limit ALL the time, regardless of how many cars pass you.

That’s a start.

Well, I don’t gossip (gossip is one of the things I hate most), I drive the speed limit, and don’t swear.

But, yeah I get what you are saying. That is pretty much what I do. I usually fast from TV, or video games and put that time into prayer. Increase my Bible study time from 1 to 2 hours a day, things like that.

I guess I am wondering if I am ‘missing out’ because I am missing out on the physical hunger part.

I was with you up to here. I do this to avoid tickets, but is it honestly considered a sin to speed?
