It’s very hard to fast when you have a Taiwanese wife. Food is just too much a part of Taiwan culture. It’s so important that one of the main greetings in Taiwanese is, “Ja ba bui?” which translates to “Have you eaten your fill yet?”

I wanted to do a 36 or 48 hour fast. I normally don’t eat breakfast and I skipped lunch. I don’t feel hungry but my wife informed me that my son is going to cook a steak for me. I might have to wait until next week when my wife is away for work to do a proper fast. Is it still considered fasting if I only eat one meal a day?

Anyway, I could use some prayer. I have some things on my mind I need guidance on. Any prayers would be appreciated.

Here’s a photo of a steak I had when I visited Taiwan this past June.
