I decided to fast something this Lent. Mainly to join a lot of the church that I had written off before - more Christians fast during Lent than any other time, I think. And also because I think fasting is "good" for a body. But I don't like to do it.
So I decided I would need to fast something that would be a sacrifice and for me that would be coffee. So coffee it's been. No coffee since Ash Wednesday. My body has missed it. (I didn't fast caffiene - so Excedrin has been helpful). My soul has missed it. I love the smell of coffee. I love the routine and ritual of my morning coffee. I love relaxing with a cup of coffee and i love getting going with a coffee. I love conversation around a cup of coffee.
But it's been good in a strange kind of way. It's good to tell the "flesh" "NO" sometimes. It's good to remind the body it's not the boss of me. And not to dicotomize myself too much - it's good to remind the soul who's in charge as well. Man shall not live by coffee alone.
Anybody out there fasting over Lent? How's it going? What are you learning this time through it?

Starbucks.
Have you felt a closer bond with my dear friend, TEA??? My eating out fast is not going so well.. I don't think I made a true commitment, it wasn't between me and God, and I feel thats why I have not been successful.
This is my first year NOT doing something for Lent and I definitely feel the disconnection. Anyway, wanna get together for coffee next week?

So I did it -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-452-with-ValveDock.html]Fatman iTube Valvedock[/url] and I've gotta tell ya I made out like a bandit. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months back and just couldn't get that quality out of my head because it really truly surprised me. I searched online everywhere I could think of for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them up first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Shipping was surprisingly fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.
Best accessory I could have bought...
