Has anyone in this group ever fasted? I have never really done it and was wondering the thoughts of everyone else in the group. I remember guys in college doing it and spending the time they would be eating in prayer, but I didn't really ask them about their experience afterward.

I have personally never fasted. That would be one of the hardest things for me to do. I would like to try it some time. I was taught that when you do it you need to focus on God the entire time. Instead of thinking about hunger you should be praying and opening your heart to God.
I personally liked verse 12 when Jesus said "it is not the healty who need a doctor." I grew up in a church where christians only hung out with other christians. This is not what Jesus did. We should spend time with Christian friends, but we also need to be going out to the places where non christians are, like bars and such. Not that I am advocating getting drunk but that is where we should be shinning as examples.
Drinking for Jesus!
I would also say that where we all work is our prime place to start. There are probably more non-Christians than there are Christians at my work.
