The other day I was sitting with two gentlemen. We were about to work on something together and, while we were waiting to get started, we talked. The conversation was very ordinary, and then …

 Last night was the last of our three Wednesday night prayer services in January. It was also the last of three Wednesdays of fasting.

I am amazed, and a little sad, at how affected I can be by missing just two meals in a day—especially when I realize that much of the world lives on only one meal every day. (I think we Americans really should be more cognizant of our consumption.)

For me, and for many others at Living Streams Church, yesterday was another day devoted to fasting and prayer.

First, at 1:30 pm our elder team finished our monthly meeting with prayer.
