Daniel Fast and More

I've been going through what's called a "Daniel Fast" since the 17th of this month--something my church came up with, I guess. I honestly have only a vague idea about what it's all about, and that part of the idea is to grow closer to God, but here's the essential parts (quoting from memory): no rich foods or sauces, no desserts, no meat, and no soda. At first, I wasn't sure what all the requirements were, so I opted for no soda and only reduced fat foods (nothing over 5 grams). Once I found out, I made the required changes. To be honest, this has to be the longest time I've gone without meat, and I'm actually okay with it--it won't be too permanent, though. As far as drawing closer to Him, it's not exactly hurting. I'm starting to dwell inwardly on a few things more, and oddly enough I found a Fellowship Meeting area on campus--the link might not work, or might redirect to someplace else. Another thing: our church has a rudimentary drama program and I'm planning on getting involved in it--don't get your hopes up; we're mostly talking more along the lines of skits than Shakespeare, though there's still hope for it. Plan on me advertising for it on here! Lastly, I'll be going to a couple of Christian concerts around February--the first one is at Calvary Chapel East Campus, and the other one... somewhere in Phoenix. I'll also be working with Feed My Starving Children with my friend Steve sometime soon, and we're going to be in Hermosillo for the last 3 or so days of Spring Break--expect plenty of pictures! Forgot to pay the sponsor for the Calvary Newsboys concert, so I couldn't go to that; FMSC is off the schedule; and unless anyone else I know is going I won't be in Hermosillo as Steve will be busy during that time with HVAC at Pima and GTTN.
