so, here i am again. Thirteen hours into my famine...and already feeling some minor hunger pains. I realized, though, that the reason this is so difficult for me isnt because im addicted to food...but more because it is so habitual for our culture to just eat. Whether it be out of boredom, sadness, or real hunger...we just eat. It was awkward for me to wake up this morning and not go get my usual bagel and coffee. But as i sat and thought about it, i wasnt really hungry, i was just used to waking up and getting breakfast. I know it is often said that our culture is ungrateful for the things we have, but doing this really helps me understand it. We have so much in our lives, and not just food-wise. We have so much to be grateful for...this is why i do the famine. Not only is it awesome to help out a culture full of people that i may never meet, but i learn so much about myself. Granted, towards the end i get to be somewhat delirious, but dont we all? Needless to say, im really excited to see what the rest of this day, and tomorrow has to offer. I am so ready for God to open me up, and show me things.
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
