40 days of nothing
The fine folks at XXXchurch.com and Mars Hill Bible Church will be kicking off a national tour in hopes of waking up churches across the country and challenging them to venture out of their sanctuaries and into their communities. The website is StarvingJesus.com and the tour is called 40 days of nothing. One of the challenges they issue is to consider fasting. I'm going to fast from sweets for forty days - no cake, no cookies, no ice cream from August 5 to September 13. Check out the website to see if the tour will stop in your 'hood, read the first chapter of the forthcoming book, and pray about how you can get involved.

I sure hope your dear wife "helps" you out by fasting from sweets herself. It won't be easy when you come home after not having eaten for 4-5 hours and she has a pan full of cookies in the oven. :)
Don't worry. She's on board. She isn't going to fast, but she's agreed to cut down on the quantity of sweets around the house. My bigger challenge with be social occasions.
