"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:"
* loose the chains of injustice
* untie the cords of the yoke
* set the oppressed free
* break every yoke
* share your food with the hungry
* provide the poor wanderer with shelter
* clothe the naked
* do not turn away your own flesh and blood in need
* do away with the yoke of oppression
* quit pointing the finger
* stop malicious talk
* spend yourself in behalf of the hungry
* satisfy the needs of the oppressed
* keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
* honor the Lord's holy day by not going your own way
* not doing as you please
* not speaking idle words
God says 'THEN your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; THEN your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. THEN you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: HERE I AM! ... THEN your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs when there is no hope, he'll strengthen your frame ... THEN you will find your joy in the LORD!'
[This looks just a little different than my current 'skipping breakfast, lunch, and dinner one day about every other week' ... ]
