Fasting

By the way, I think I failed to mention with all of this Starving Jesus stuff that I've decided I'm going to fast from food completely for 7 days. I'm going to start August 25th and end the fast after the event on the 31st (well, technically I'll break the fast on Sept 1).

I'm excited about this fast, but also dreading it. My wife's birthday is August 25th (so I better make sure we celebrate early!), I have a conference the 25th and 26th, our staff has a fun activity planned for the 29th... All these great "food" opportunities and I'm going to have to abstain. AAAHHHH! Maybe my food addiction is worse than I thought... ;o)

What will make the fast easier is if I have some other people doing it with me. If you are in CR and want to join me, leave a comment here or email me directly. I'll let you decide what your fast looks like (one day, daylight hours only, TV/media fast, etc.). If you do do a fast for only one day, I strongly recommend you do it on Thursday, August 31, then come to the Starving Jesus event sponsored by Watershed.
