It was the day after a four-day dry fasting and prayer retreat of her church. The spinster received a call and after an exchange first abused her caller before telling him she didn?t understand what love he was talking about. Then she added the clincher that as far as she was concerned the only love she understood was that backed by money.

?Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.? ? Isaiah 58: 3-4 (KJV)

It is not about religious rituals,
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
