Great post
I was so excited to see a new Blog posted. Corrine, your posting touched on something that has stayed with me since I read the chapter. I too had thought of fasting more as a penance rather than as gaining more strength of spirit over body... self-controll. I am now trying to impliment this in my life...... less snacking all day long..... etc. but I am trying to make it a spiritual exercise rather than just a weight management help. This chapter also reinforeced my love for the church and its wisdom. Thank you Lord for the gift of the church and the spiritual tools we have been gifted with.
