Firstly, let me say that Sunday's service at New Covenant was phenominal. God's presence was overwhelming and there was much victory in people's lives. People laughed and cried during worship and it was just beyond words.


Secondly, I heard of this fast until March 8th and at first I thought maybe I'd go Samali with the boys but I felt led in a different direction. So, I'm going Amish. Well, not completely, but where it really counts. I'm fasting from TV until March 8th (two days after my b day). No, this doesn't mean I can't be in a room with a TV, it means I don't give it my attention and if that means leaving the room than so be it. No video games, movies (TV or cinema), or Simpsons. Paul, if you're reading this, I apologize that the New York Samurai will have to do without me for the next month. I figure this will free up my time to do some writing and more in depth study and, well, on the whole TV doesn't bring all that much fruit to my life anyways. I have a distinct feeling that at the end of this I won't feel much of a need for it (with the exception of NFL Fever 2004, the Samurai are too close to my heart).


Thirdly, I need a haircut...maybe a shave, too.
