and I was speechless.
My world is so small. How quickly I forget that real problems exist, problems beyond gas prices and swollen ankles, problems that deserve more than a sigh and a shrug. Kat is gearing up for this year's 40 Day Fast. Last summer I participated, but struggled with the concept of a public fast. I actually fasted on a different day than I was assigned (sorry Kat) so that I could pray privately, but still speak up when it was my turn. I may do the same this year. Because I think what she's doing is important. For most of us, our worlds are really small. I don't want to miss an opportunity to pray for someone, and to think of something, outside of my little universe for a few weeks. If you want to join us, sign up here.

Thanks for spreading the word Stephanie!
No problem about fasting on a different day or doing some sort of creative fast. I had to do that last year as well since I was still nursing (sorry if that's tmi).
Oh you will get your pictures alright! I am about to send them right now! I am so excited for you to see them!
I am about to check out this fasting link. I have always been curious and intimidated about the idea of not eating (as a concept) and as a spiritual discipline... the hardest of them all I'm sure (not meant to be funny)
