fasting

Today (or tomorrow depending on the moon or something) begins Ramadan. The month where Muslims fast during the daylight hours and pray during certain times of the day. I'm not Muslim......just your average a Southern Baptist christian. But, something about this religious practice has always intrigued me. Spending a month, not taking in any nourishment from sunrise to sunset and abstaining from any worldly pleasures, with the intent of not only cleansing yourself spiritually but also as a reminder of the less fortunate is an admirable mission. So, I'm going to give it a try. Just smoked my last cig and had my last drink. I'm not promising I'm going to last a month but I'm going to give it my best shot! Happy Ramadan!
