The Ethiopian Patriots, Ras Abebe Aregai- Ark of the Covenant & The Emperor Returns
“…that long hair on your heads is the badge of the Arbegnoch, the Ethiopian guerilla fighter…it is the outward sign of your form as irregular soldiers…” The Italian-Ethiopian War
I chose to fast from Facebook this year. For me personally, I was bencimog too distracted by the constant newsfeed and negative messages about current events, politics, etc. and it was affecting my ability to focus on my Faith. I found myself being uncharitable in thought and word due to current circumstances in the news. Our family is also focusing on traditional fasting and almsgiving, plus other Lenten devotions. I hope we don’t paint people who fast from social media with a broad brush. I did not announce my fast in order to attract attention. I simply told friends in a status update that I was going to take a couple months off and return sometime in April. We have to be careful to not judge the sacrifices others make. We only know the depth of sacrifice made by ourselves and can never know the hearts of others.
True! Bless you wendim!
