Today Steven Russel is the blogger for the 40 day fast.
“help those who are not as lucky to live in this fantastic country as we celebrate our freedom on this fourth of july.
but go to your inner city. find a community center. volunteer to read stories to kids at the local children’s hospital. go to a food bank. a mission. give your time.”
There is now a page here that is for all of us to go and talk about things we’ve learned, thought about etc. during these 40 days. It’s a great idea, and I encourage everyone who’s reading these pages, to go and participate!
“The constant pursuit of perfection drives us inward, leading us to focus on ourselves (and everything we wish we could change) rather than on God or others. And as much as we may think our efforts at fixing what’s “wrong” about us are going to improve our relationships, the truth is that the more we focus on ourselves, the less other people are going to enjoy being around us.” ~Constance Rhodes

~Today was my birthday, and it was a very good day. The day started by my wonderful husband and boys bringing me breakfast in bed. We then went to church and learned about the awesomeness, and greatness of God while a very loud thunderstorm was happening outside, to prove the point I suppose.
We had our car windows down, so our cup holders were full of water when we left, and there sat my cell phone floating in one. We laughed at how clean our car is now, and hope that by drying my phone out a little it won’t keep shutting off.
We finished the day at one of my favorite restaurants, Macaroni grill. They have the best lasagna, (but mostly I like to draw on the table.) I was sung happy birthday in Italian, and told happy birthday over and over by my two year old, along with creating a special high five- rock solid, kiss with my 4 year old. It was a wonderful day.
