She is a neat girl; really tries to make all of her life about Jesus; we have some great conversations. Another of my friends is the one who gave me the molasses tip; she fasts often though more for health than prayer, but is also a 70-something college student, and lives her life with a lot of determination & hard work (also a Christian). And then there's me, with my own unique practices and q's. :) We make an eclectic group, but I think God brought us together b/c we are so alike in many ways, even if the details are different.<BR/><BR/>Ok, the word verific is awesome this time--"kuacky". Again, no need to define.Karhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165574435991354558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-62368432774972911892009-03-12T19:45:00.000-04:002009-03-12T19:45:00.000-04:00Timbra: 2 A's, one E.

I'm with you on the t-shirt.<BR/><BR/>Karla: Books welcome. :) I've never thought of putting molasses in water to help with blood sugar! That makes so much sense! Okay, now I am totally curious about what else happens in these conversations. Nice to see you again!!!Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-73963388255999562872009-03-12T17:33:00.000-04:002009-03-12T17:33:00.000-04:00Hi Susan...

So I am psychic cos I was just thinking of you the other day and suddenly realized how behind I am on my Cheekyness reading... ;(<BR/><BR/>I agree with Timbra (hi, Timbra!); I think fasting can be a good way to pull back from life once in a while and appreciate what you've got. I never knew much about fasting and never practised it growing up; I have every once in a while for brief periods this yr, but for me so far it doesn't seem a great thing to do too much. (I need my six meals a day! ;) No, it seems to me I may have blood sugar a little on the low side--which, a friend who fasts a lot more often told me that she just drinks water with a little bit of molasses in it to help with blood sugar type issues. So I thought that was cool.)<BR/><BR/>I have had some pretty interesting convos this year about people's different beliefs and preferences (even just among Christians)--I am enjoying learning how different the perspectives/histories my friends bring to the table on all kinds of issues (right along with most of the rest of the human race, I'd bet).<BR/><BR/>This is ridiculously long, but you know me: either no write at all or write a book. I can have no middle ground. :PKarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165574435991354558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-30343192708976694992009-03-11T23:51:00.000-04:002009-03-11T23:51:00.000-04:00hey susan. . so it's sacramento. . with 2A's not 2...hey susan. . so it's sacramento. . with 2A's not 2E's. .. sorry if i had an apostrophe catastrophe just then, I know how you hate that :) Anyway, we have a guy at placerville coc we are very close to, he always picks something to abstain from during the season. . . let's make tshirts next year "lent ain't just for catholics no more!"

Not that I am in the current season, but I think it's a great opportunity for anyone (at any time of year really) to abstain from something in their life and spend that time focusing on Jesus. <BR/><BR/>Oh; and next time your in CA look me up and I'll take you to all the "hot spots" you asked about ;)Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09407400807727673016noreply@blogger.com
