Today
Mother's Day 2006
Please pray for Kristie and all the other mom's today on Mother's Day!
We wanted to wish our sweet moms, Leta Sullivan and Barbara Phillips, a very special Mother's Day!!!
Kristie is recovering from our 3 day fast this weekend. She made it 40 of the 72 hours with only a few sips of fruit juice, not-so-yummy vegtable broth and beet tea---yuck!!! She is counting the days until she can have a McLatte and chocolate cake!!!
Kristie shares her thoughts on fasting (written at 5pm on Saturday): I just wanted to share my new found respect for all of those who make fasting a regular part of their life and confess---I am so weak!!! I have just completed my first 24 hours of fasting---at 5 pm last night I had the hugest plate of spaghetti to kick off our 3 day fast! I think, however, I have spent the last 9 hours think and dreaming about food. We started the 40 day fast on the 3rd of May and since then have not had any desserts or caffeine. That should not have even been a big deal for me, since, I rarely drink coffee---except when they charge $4, but I found my self this past Thursday, standing in a coffee shop smelling the coffee!!! I never knew how much I love chocolate, either!!! So, to all of you who have fasted 3 days, 10 days and 40 days---way to go, good job! I thought time was flying as I watch the kids grow, but these last 9 days and especially the past 24 hours have seemed like an eternity!
