In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Note that fasting as a Christian means to humble yourself before Him. It is a way to glorify our Lord. Keep these aspects in mind while you fast. Don't confuse this with any other reasons for fasting such as weight loss, etc. Center it around Jesus. before your fast. Pray, confessing every one of your sins, and inviting the Holy Spirit to lead your life. Let Jesus know you wish to know Him personally. Acknowledge that He lived without sin, died in our place, on the cross for our sins and rose 3 days later, freeing us from condemnation, and giving us His free gift of eternal life. Humble yourself to ask forgiveness from everyone you have hurt; ask forgiveness from God. Forgive those who have hurt you. You do not want to enter into a fast holding grudges, carrying envy, pride, anger or hurt. The enemy will try to use those things to distract you from your fast. These may include the ability to forgive, His strength or wisdom, His peace, the capacity to love unconditionally, etc. Praise Him for these attributes! Surrender your life and thank Him for all He has done for you! You may wish to try a shorter fast, and start slowly at first, if you have not previously fasted. You can also pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you how long you should fast. You may feel that the Holy Spirit calls you to a specific type of fast. A partial fast may mean giving up only certain types of foods. Juice fasts remove the pleasure of chewing any type of solid food, yet fruit and vegetable juices are permitted. In an absolute fast one abstains from solid and liquid "foods" -- for example, fruit juices are foods -- but, water is essential for life much as breathing, as one may go into a foggy mental state, then coma and die after a mere 2 or 3 days of dehydration.
Summary: Hold the right motives. Pray Meditate on the Gospel, and on the Holy traits of our Lord. Determine the length of your fasting experience, whether this is for 1 meal, 1 day, 3 days or a week (Jesus and Moses fasted for a period of 40 days, but that is no sign that anyone else might do that). Note the type of fast you are being called to. Drink enough water to support life, since it is not a food, observing this Absolute Caution:

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Measure your pavers ahead of time to determine how much space they'll take up in the soil. You don't want to rest them on top of the soil, as this will make it more difficult to plant grass between each paver. Instead, use a ruler or tape to measure the height of your pavers, so you can have a better idea of how you'll arrange them on your property later on. Jot the measurement down on a separate piece of paper, or record it in your phone so you don't forget it later. Use a spade or large shovel to dig 6 inches (15cm) into the soil. Don't just dig small holes around the areainstead, take time to excavate the entire area. Since you'll be layering gravel and soil beneath the pavers, you need to dig up enough space on your property. While this might seem excessive, the area needs to be deep enough for plant seeds to form roots later on. If you're excavating a large area of property, consider renting professional equipment to help dig up the area. As you dig 6 inches (15cm) into the soil, dump the loosened dirt into a pile at the side of your excavation area. Don't get rid of the soil altogether, as you'll be reusing when you install the pavers. If you'd prefer, you can also use a wheelbarrow or similar container to collect the soil. Try to have a pair of gloves on hand whenever you do intense gardening work. Open a bag of gardening gravel and drizzle it across the bottom of the excavated area. Aim for the gravel to be around 4 inches (10cm) thick, so it can provide a firm support to the pavers. If you're planning to use the pavers for heavy duty tasks, consider making the gravel layer even thicker. For instance, if you're setting up your grass pavers to be used as a driveway, you might want to make the gravel 5 inches (13cm). Try not to fill up the entire space with gravel. While you want a firm support for your pavers, you don't want the pavers to be resting above surface level. You can find a compactor at a home improvement store. To use a gas-powered plate compactor, grip the throttle lever between your first and middle finger and pull it downwards. Next, slowly tug on the operating cord to lubricate the engine, then pull on the cord quickly to start the machine. If you're using an electric plate compactor, just press the power button to turn the equipment on. If you don't have compacting equipment, consider investing in a hand tamper to compact the gravel manually.
Summary: Decide how high you'd like your pavers to be in the soil. Dig up the area where you plan to install the pavers. Collect the dirt in a large pile at the side of your property. Fill the excavated area 4in (10cm) with gravel. Flatten out the gravel with a plate compactor so it stays in a nice and level.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take inventory of the key elements of your story, particularly objects and places. Research those places and objects and look for title inspiration. For example, if your story centers on an emerald passed down through generations of the same family, you might research emeralds and find that they've traditionally been associated with faith and hope. So you might title your story something like "The Rock of Hope." Look over the book titles on your own shelves and note down the titles that jump out at you. Write down both the titles that jump out to you now and the books whose titles alone drew you in. Review your list and try to determine what the successful titles have in common. For example, do they appeal to the senses, appeal to the reader's imagination, etc? An allusion is a reference to or a phrase taken from an external source like another literary work, a song, or even something as commonplace as a brand or slogan. Many authors have taken inspiration from classic works, including William Faulkner, whose Sound and the Fury is inspired by a line in Macbeth, and John Steinbeck, whose Grapes of Wrath is an allusion to a line in "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Other authors have drawn inspiration from local vernacular sayings, like the London Cockney saying "queer as a clockwork orange" that inspired Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange. Still others have used allusions to popular culture, like Kurt Vonnegut, who used the Wheaties slogan for his book Breakfast of Champions.
Summary:
Research. Check out your own bookshelves. Use an allusion.
