Melissa, Cassie and I will be starving ourselves this weekend. No, it's not a diet fad or a protest. It's actually a fundraiser.
The church is participating in a program called the 30 Hour Famine something that youth groups around the globe do to raise awareness for world hunger, money for hunger relief and items for local community food pantries. You can find more info here. We've been asked to help the youth at the church this weekend and of course participate in the... not eating any food for 30 hours. We start at 1:30 on Friday and go, well, 30 hours later. It's all too insane and this will be our 3rd year helping out.
I guess that's the really insane part.
We gave Cassie the option to stay with Grandma (and eat) but she said she wants in on the "fun".
So if you don't hear from us any time soon, you'll know why. We'll either have all dried up and blown away or after Saturday night we'll be parked in our local grocery store eating stuff straight from the shelves for a day and a half to catch up!

Uh, Tim . . . Fasting starts at 12:30 pm not 1:30. Are you eating in there????
It's been 1/2 hour . . . must . . . have . . . food . . .
Good luck with that!
Hmmm...whats for dinner....maybe lasagna. No...I think I'll grill out steaks and summer sausage, with baked potatoes, corn on the cob, and cresant rolls. Then maybe peach cobbler with homemade vanilla icecream for dessert. ;)
We survived! Boy I'm glad I didn't read that last comment till Monday!
Cruel... just cruel...
