		<description>Hey brootha,

About 3 weeks ago, I completed a time of fruits/veggies/nuts only. I would eat them cooked or raw, but I stayed away from meats, sweets and breads.

In addition to dropping quite a bit of weight, I agree with these 2 posts that I was more alert and clearer mentally (&amp; spiritually, i think, as well).

Going back to regular food has almost had similar effects as depression -- lethargic, tired a lot, not sleeping as well...etc. Also, it made me realize just how much I rely on junk food for comfort. It makes me wonder if I could/should consider an actual vegetarian lifestyle, since I seem to thrive there &amp; have since lost my taste for a lot of meats.

I&#039;m gonna go back on veggies for a month or two and see how it goes. What&#039;s the worst that could happen-- I could be thin &amp; happy?? hehe...</description>

		<description>Service is like Spirituality for Dummies. As long as you&#039;re serving, you kinda can&#039;t go wrong.

Full disclosure: I&#039;m wrong most of the time.</description>

		<description>Nice.

I wasn&#039;t tracking with the labyrinth, simply because of the whole free-will thing. I recognize the choices I must make in life, and my constant need to be tuned-in to God for the purposes of knowing which way to turn (since life can be very confusing).

But I never thought about me being the goal, and God being the one doing all the work...

I guess that&#039;s what it means to wait upon the Lord.

Very cool.</description>
