I injured my back somehow. Yesterday was pretty rough. But today it's healed a bit so I'm happy. Watched church online this morning. Just watching movies now. Cheers!

I used to fast when I was LDS. We would fast once a month for 2 meals. And I fasted for other purposes for 3 days. It is a great way to get answers to prayers and be more spiritual. I've since become too mentally ill to fast. But I remember it well. Good job fasting!Went 20 hours without solid food for a small mini fast.
Definitely would recommend.

Fasting for the Lord is a lot more pleasant than going without solid food for 3 days so you can get your colonoscopy done. I've done both and wow, not fun. But 1 day I don't think would work except for the standard fast.If I fasted for only 1 day, would that be a half-fast?
That's interesting. Hubby was telling me about a conversation with his new LDS boss. He told me about the tithing system and the fasting money that went to the church members in need, poor and widows.Fasting for the Lord is a lot more pleasant than going without solid food for 3 days so you can get your colonoscopy done.

I was going to add that when I was LDS we donated the money we would have spent on food to the poor. And I later found that in the bible:
Isaiah 58
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Cheers!
I'm glad your happy. Are you excited for the new baby? What a silly question, I'm sure you're excited! Cheers :)So Ive been watching Youtube videos to improve my cooking and housekeeping skills. One of them recommended a cleaning system called Clean Mama, which I tried today.
I think my biggest struggle before was that I had to think too hard about what to do. But now our place actually looks good and it's such a joyful feeling.
Today when I took a break, I imagined a new baby name and the theme I want for the nursery.I'm glad your happy. Are you excited for the new baby? What a silly question, I'm sure you're excited! Cheers :)
When my ex wife and I had children, she was the one that read all the books and taught me how to care for them. She also had her family to learn from. It was fun. Children are the best gift we can get.Today when I took a break, I imagined a new baby name and the theme I want for the nursery.
I'm very excited! Pregnancy has already taught me so many things.
Yes we had twins from IVF and it was more difficult.Busy yesterday, one Doe birthed 4 kid goats.
The Doe on the small size, so 4 kids was a surprise.
Wynona hope your first is not a multiple surprise ;)
