Retta, Adrian, Christian and Amber are all participating in a 30 hour famine this weekend. This the second year their youth group has done this activity, but this year, the information leaked out and they were discovered by a local Birmingham news stations. The links are to new articles and videos about the event this weekend. When it was over, Retta and the kids went to Zaxby's for a chicken sandwich!
Retta said the event shifted a bit during the night/day as they got the news about the earthquake and the possible tsunami. They spent a lot of time in prayer for both events as they learned about them.
There are a couple more videos that have not been posted yet. Adrian is interviewed in one of them. I'll add them when they are released.

I'm having a lazy day in southern IL. I came in to work to check on a project (because I had nothing else to do) and plan on "resting" most of the day.............

This sounds like an interesting project for the young people to participate in. Were they all together during the 30 hours with activities to keep them busy? Sort of a "slumber party" - which we all know doesn't include "slumbering"? Good to start a giving attitude at a young age.
I agree - it's good for them to get an idea of what it's like to go hungry and to see that most people don't have it as nice as we do. I remember doing a "fast" with the Marti girls one weekend in Gridley. We had no noble motives, however - we just wanted to see if we could do it!
Eric - please do post the link with your daughter in it when it becomes available. Thanks, Ann
