My heart is torn. This year Rick, Eli, our family and friends will March for Babies on April 30th. I will not be there. Not because my heart isn't there!! No, but because I will be Famaning. What is the Famine? Funny you should ask! The 30 Hour Famine is something that our youth have done for the last 5 years and I have done for 14 of the last 15 years! We all get together to not eat for 30 hours. Why? Again, good question! :o) We don't eat for 30 hours to raise awareness and money for children who won't eat for days/weeks/months. It is a great way to build compassion for others and "treat others as we treat ourselves" as God has told us to do. Rich Sterns book. The Hole In Our Gospel, is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in finding out a little more about World Vision (the outreach that sponsors 30 Hour Famine). So my heart is torn... But while Eli and Rick are Marching for awareness of preemies, the Youth and I will be Famining for all the babies who go to sleep hungry at night! So my heart is torn, but it's an awesome tear!!
