Cake… So much cake…. So, week 2 of fasting was much harder than week one. I found myself baking muffins for a friends birthday, and lots of tray bakes for church to give away to the local community on Easter Sunday. And all without being able to taste them….

Think I’ve now mastered how to keep track of the weeks in the title without confusing myself! Took long enough… Anyway, I’m sure you’ve been eagerly awaiting to find out what I’m fasting.

In the Christian calendar, today is Ash Wednesday. It marks 40 days leading towards Easter when we remember Jesus spending 40 days in the wilderness before being tempted by the devil. Some people will give something up for lent either as a personal challenge or for spiritual reasons. OK, boring background bit over. I’m notContinue reading “Hunting for God in lent”
