Does that just expose how much we rely on earthly things for ‘spiritual’ strength? Or does the act of denying the flesh really thrust us out to a little more prominence in the spiritual battle going on?

I think you’re right about rhythms and seasons and the need for fasting and Lent. Coffee would be an obvious thing for me. I don’t know how I would do though, or if my boss would appreciate it in this season of deadlines. (-_-)
