Fasting Funny

On the Oasis Blog there has been alot of info posted about Fasting. Funny things sometimes happen when you are fasting. In our Eric’s and my fast, this is no exception. A couple of years ago when we did a 40 day fast, we decided to go to a friends house who  has a fruit farm. Since we were juicing, we thought this would be beneficial, as well as a fun field trip for our children.

Our friend took us on a tour of the farm.  As we were walking through the orchard, our dear friend Debbie was telling us all about the different types of apples. She pulls one off the tree and says,”this is the best”, and continues to hand it to Eric, and says, ”try it”. Eric not thinking, takes the apple and takes a big bite out of it, chews a second, but then quickened to his senses proceeds to spit it with force onto the ground. This all happened very quickly and I am just staring at Eric and Debbie is now thinking something was wrong with her apples, LOL. We ended up telling our friend that we were fasting and she imediately understood, but it was very funny. Now Debbie had no idea, so this is not an eve and the fruit situation, but it was comical that it happened to be an apple that Eric took a bit out of :)
