A ‘journey’ of clicks to thoughts about Lent


Following links around the internet isn’t always a pointless search.

Here’s how I found this great material.  I wonder, is the journey important anymore?  Or just the destination?

If it is…I joined Twitter.  Then I looked up and followed Cornerstone University (because they have an online ESL program that I’m interested in.)  They posted a tweet that showed up on my twitter page that took me to a facebook page called “CU Chapel Profile.”

What did I find when I got there?  These fresh insights on fasting and feasting, words that blessed my day.  I love this and hope I can follow it’s direction. (There was no indication that this is proprietary material, but if it is, my sincere apologies to the author.)

Fast from judging others;
Feast on Christ dwelling them.

Fast from fear of illness;
Feast on the healing power of God.

Fast from words that pollute;
Feast on speech that purifies.

Fast from discontent;
Feast on gratitude.

Fast from anger;
Feast on patience.

Fast from pessimism;
Feast on optimism.

Fast from negatives;
Feast on alternatives.

Fast from bitterness;
Feast on forgiveness.

Fast from self-concern;
Feast on compassion.

Fast from suspicion;
Feast on truth.

Fast from gossip;
Feast on purposeful silence.

Fast from problems that overwhelm;
Feast on prayer that sustains.

Fast from worry;
Feast on faith.
