Why I'm I telling you all. ACCOUNTABILITY!

Starting tonight at 10PM! So if you see my little light on here or MySpace, please make me feel really bad!

Anyone want to join? There's power in numbers. Just reply with "I'm in" and we'll do this together.
Before you go, I've been wondering. Hows the work you and the hubby are doing there in North Carolina? (Sorry, off topic)

I'll be taking an internet break myself tomorrow to spend quality time with other members of our church youth group selling concessions at Ole Miss. We'll probably be short handed a few people because a ladies shopping trip is scheduled tomorrow also. It'll be interesting to see how many ladies pass up a chance to go shopping to sell hotdogs, popcorn, etc.

Confession: I'd be going with them to shop-- but as usual-- I've already spent the amount I budget myself for mad money every week at a garage sale!

A key to successful fasting spoken by Jesus:

Mat 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Whoa! You can't really do that can you? I knew a guy who tried once and the black helicopters came.

Oh, wait... you'll "be off the Internet..." I thought you were gonna try and take the whole thing down. That'd be cool to try - just for the bragging rights.

I remember this one time a friend of mine tried to test the DoD theory about distributed networks surving nukes. So, from his home near the secret UFO base in NV he ... well, the rest is history, of course, and everyone calls him "BOOMM" now for his efforts.
