The Famine is over. . .

The boys survived the 30 hour famine.  It ended with our Day of Prayer Lovefeast at our Church.  They enjoyed their Lovefeast and then had pizza, baked spaghetti and doughnuts to round out the evening.  So proud of the boys.  They learned what hunger is and they learned about different countries too.  They were aligned with a particular tribe and ate a traditional meal from that area.  Jack said he did get a little bit of a headache from not eating but he was ok.  They are tired and grouchy, which I was anticipating.  Thomas said Jack was talking in his sleep last night.  I think they had a good time.  I hope they make it through school tomorrow.  Mark and I enjoyed a quiet evening at home last night.  Just us and the B.  She seemed to miss the boys too, she didn't have anyone to chase and play with.  The boys raised $185 to go to World Vision.

30 hour Famine . . . .starts Saturday

Our Fundraiser 30 hour famine begins tomorrow at 10 am.  Poor Jack has baseball tryouts at 10 and then on to Church.  Now they will not be completely with out food for the full 30 hours.  They will have fruit, juice and water available all day for the kids.  They will be affiliated with a particular tribe in one of the 100 countries that World Vision covers and they will be fed a small meal similar to what a child eats in that particular country.  They will be joining another Church for an evening of fun and games and a lock in.  They will be attending morning worship on Sunday at that Church.  Their famine will end with our Day of Prayer Lovefeast at our Church and a potluck after the service.  We are still trying to raise money for the World Vision 30 hour Famine.  Please check it out www.30hourfamine.org.  If you would like to make a donation for Jack, just click the "Donate" icon and then click "Donate" again to find a student, then enter Jack Crater and follow the prompts from there.  All donations are welcome and appreciated and are Tax deductible.
