It's 11:45 pm and I have 15 more minutes to indulge myself in chocolate, bread, meat or whatever else I feel inclined to eat. Rod and I are going on a "Daniel Fast" from Sat. 1/13 through Friday 1/19. Basically loosely based on Daniel chapter 1 we will be eating nothing but vegetables and fruit, water and fruit juice. (I'm allowing Rod to have his morning java if he agrees to give up all soft drinks.) My purposes in doing this would be 1. to become healthier and expose my family to more fruits and vegetables and 2. hopefully gain some wisdom and clarity in a particular area. Overall I'm hoping to feed on more God things and make this a continual act of worship. The inspiration to do this came from a great church called Fellowship Church where the entire church of 20,000+ is currently going on this fast for 21 days. We'll see if we can handle 7 days.
So I stocked up on vegies from Henry's and grapes and juice from Costco and I just finished my last chocolate chip cookie. I think I'm ready to go. By the way I forgot to update the great news. I never got the stomach flu. Maybe I should try the same tactics to prevent the headache I'm dreading from lack of caffeine.

That sounds hard. I am sure you can do it though!I will eat enough chocolate chip cookies for your whole family-k?
Yes, while you are eating fruits and vegetables, I will be bulking up with spaghetti, pizza, potatoes, basically things that will make me gain weight...Fun! So glad you never got the flu!
