40 Day Fast: About Something Other Than Us

Fellow blogger Kat started this initiative just the other day after viewing this rather disturbing picture. The idea is that 40 bloggers will each fast one day starting on June 22nd. Each blogger will blog about the experience as well as an area of need in the world (either a cause or a country) and an organization that strives to meet that need. Our hope is to help raise awareness and show people that there really is something they can do to help the poor and the orphaned all around the world.

If you are interested in being a part of this, either email Kat or go to this page for more information. We've got 19 signed up already - we only need 22 more. Will you join and be a part of the solution?

Hey Mark! How could I forget that first meeting? We'll get a lot of laughs out of that one... I'm thrilled that you're going to be a part of the fast. I'm really excited about it - I'm actually working on a little more robust initiative involving bloggers, so I'll keep you in the loop as things progress. Hey - I'm so sorry I haven't added you to my blogroll yet - consider it done now. Have a great weekend, my friend!

P.S. We would LOVE to come to Cairo... send me an email at normalrockstar@gmail.com and let's start that conversation.

Hi Jeremy,

We met in the bathroom at re:create :-)

What a fantastic idea! I've signed up, and am praying that God will use this to inspire people to look outside at the rest of the world and find a way to get involved and make a difference.

Been following your blog since Feb, and am really enjoying it. Well done for taking on the blogsites.biz thing - I'm praying for you in this new adventure.

Mark.

PS, Anytime you guys want to come to Cairo, just let me know ok? We'd love to have you!
