Breaking An Extended Fast
Breaking an extended fast can be difficult. You will quickly discover that breaking the fast is harder than fasting.

Breville Juicer
This juice is great for veggies. The opening is huge enough for an apple so it cuts down the preparation time. It is not a good extractor for fruit especially melons.

You Will Be Tempted
After forty days in the desert, Satan came to tempt Jesus. You also will be tempted.
