When you fast you don’t eat, eventually you start thinking about food and every time you think about food you think about God; I’ve been thinking about God a lot lately.
Two days into my fast I wanted to kiss my wife and she said no because my breath was stinky; so I went to the kitchen and ate 3 tic tacs. I then told my wife we could kiss because my breath had been de-stinkified via tic tac. She said “”oh no” because tic tacs have calories and I said “No way!” I checked the package and sure enough, each tic tac contains 1.9 energies.
So I was really down for having inadvertently broken my fast when wifey spilt profundity upon me. She said “You know Ben, fasting isn’t about food, it’s about prayer.” And dear reader, prayer isn’t about prayer, prayer is about God; I had made fasting about not eating food instead of its true purpose, imbibing God. +1 to wifey for the reminder…
