Re: Day 13 - fasting isn't fun

Thanks for that encouragement. I am planning on telling my congregation eventually. I'd rather wait until the end, however. I'm preaching through the Sermon on the Mount right now, and on 2/15 I will hit the subject of fasting. That will be Day 39 for me if hunger has not returned (I don't expect it will have returned). I have asked people to wait, and I would tell them later why I'm losing weight. I'm planning on revealing the experience of my fast as part of that sermon on fasting. Most commentators say that Moses/Elijah/Jesus fasted 40 days only by supernatural intervention. I'd like to bust that myth in my sermon by my personal testimony.
