Where I Come From...Pink Haired Girl

Dalits - Ever heard of them? Many haven't. They are considered the untouchables of India. Pink Haired Girl has written an informative post about what is being done to reach this group and change their world.

Where I Come From...was inspired by a story she saw on ABC News about a guy named Bob Blair. Bob is inspired to do what he does by "love thy neighbor". Read more on Davida's blog.

40 Day Fast - Wow, Wow, Wow

All I can say about today's first 40 Day Fast post is WOW! Blew me away. Read it for yourself at jafferblog. See how God is at work in Egypt and how you can help change a life.

Now, Kat is the one that started this whole 40 Day Fast shindig and she has picked something to write about that almost everyone in the United States (and maybe the world) can be involved with. She is extra smart that way. My little hometown of a little over 1,000 people has one of these places. The town I live in now has many. Read her blog to find out how you can be a rock star.

My Brain is Scrambled

The headline isn't a big surprise for anyone that knows me. But, apparently Cornerstone, or the lack of sleep, really did a number on my brain.

I have been WAY off on keeping up with 40 Day Fast and for that I am deeply sorry. The few people who read this blog must think I have gone completely over the edge.

So, here is to truly catching up and being on the same page.

Today, (really, truly) we have the following participating in the 40 Day Fast:

The Fragrance of Sweetgrass sharing her heart about Compassion International in a post titled "How You Can Change The World".

Cross Driven Radio introduces (at least to me) Faith Ministry that reaches out in Mexico.

Read their blogs to learn more about this outreach programs and how you can be involved.
Pray for them today.
Pray for me, that my brain will completely unfuzz, or at least as much as it can.

40 Day Fast - Catching Up

I'm back and I think my mind is back. It was touch and go there for awhile. Leaving Cornerstone at 3 in the morning and going straight to Warped Tour without much more than a very short nap on the plane did a number on me. I actually fell asleep at Warped Tour while sitting next to the Hurley stage. Didn't think that was possible. But now to the important stuff.

LifeStraw
was covered yesterday. It is amazing! Check it out.
Sexual abuse in the Montgomery, Alabama area and your city was the topic of Sarah's blog.
