2nd day of the fast

College basketball game last night ended after 11:00pm in triple overtime. And we LOST. I had 2 hours of work this morning before leaving at 8am to go print and grade 2 midterms. Today is the 2nd day of the fast. So now you know how I’m feeling today!

. . . Now 5:35, one hour before the sun goes down, I want to write that doing a fast teaches you many things. One thing it teaches you, is how most of the world feels when they go around and function in their daily life while hungry. It is a weird sensation. You just get used to feeling hungry, and then you forget about it. It becomes a part of you, a part of how you physically feel all throughout the day. So you find yourself thinking things like, “Wow, I really don’t feel good, maybe I’m coming down with something, my head hurts, my throat is burning, etc.” And then you remember, “Oh yeah, I’m fasting.”

Two-thirds of the world’s people live on something comparable to $2.00 /day. It just makes you think about people who walk around every day feeling like this and not knowing they’re going to have a nice dinner at the hour of sunset.
