World Vision - 40 Hour Famine
I am doing the 40hour famine for the first time (i think i haven't done it before anyway)
When Amy wanted me to do it i was quite reluctant seeing i'm always hungry and indulge my self in food the majority of the time i spend at home (despite my appearance). So Amy offerred me another choice, a Techno Fast. Staying off electronics like phones, computers, t.v, movies, etc.
Thinking about the children i could actually help by rasing money for giving up in the things i enjoy hit me quite hard and i spend a few days contemplating my choices. A) Food Fast, B) Techno Fast, or C) No Fast. Then it occurred to me, why not suffer the loss of both? But because there will be a movie that night with OBY i decided that i would only half techno it. No computer, no internet, no blogging, no checking people's blogs for 40hours! And in the midst of that, no food (but the stuff i'm allowed of course). I'm happy for any sponsors.
I will be bringing my world vision booklet to the AGM, and to school for the next while. If you wanna sponsor, i won't stop you from giving hope, and life for those who need aid so much more than you. Sacrificing a little money can do so much to those who need it most.. "the AIDS patient who gets her medicine, thanks to you...the African entrepreneur who can start a small family business, thanks to you.... digging waterholes to provide clean water" - bono

I'm proud of you for making such a great decision :) Very cool.
You should be practicing humility, not pride.
Nah i'm joking, thanks for comment, it means a lot.
I just caught up on like more than a months worth of peoples blogs including yours lol. You are starting to sway me to getting a pack myself you know. Maybe you will be some sort of an ambassitor when you grow up, depending on the type of passion you decide on. Just a thought ;) Oh that's right, you already are - an ambassitor for God! :)
How will you handle not blogging...
or reading other's bloggs...
Good luck, you're a fine example of an ambassador

Thanks, thanks.
Going without blogs will be hard, but i don't know if i will be thinking about it when my stomach starts digesting itself.
You're a sales man. I hear your thoughts: "If I mention AIDS treatment EB is sure to dig deep. Okay you have my vote just show me where to sign.
Oh my! I am planning such a brilliant blog for that weekend too and you will miss it..........
kidding. You hang in there!
Marvellous! i will be bringing the booklet to church on sunday.
You can still write a brilliant blog, i will just look at it straight after my famine is over. Good lesson there.."good things take time, greater things take a greater time" (goes something like that anyway)
