The Dormition Fast, together with the Nativity or Advent Fast, are the hardest to observe for many Orthodox Christians. This is all a matter of timing. Truth be told, we all experience the Christmas season temptations of office parties, holiday gatherings, and caroling.
But in the summer, and particularly in Mississippi, we experience the temptations of barbecue, cookouts, and fishing trips. Not to mention the temptations of beer, whisky, and fried green tomatoes. It is to be devoutly hoped that we make it to Thursday. God willing.

I have a strategy that might work: Stay at home with your wife and andibals. As Official Wife, I promise to cook you tasty fast-safe foods.
