It seemed almost silly to go without food for 30 hours when we have so much of everything else. I mean, here I am, fasting for the day while I'm at work, making reservations for people to come spend literally hundreds of dollars at Medieval Times, on dinner and a two-hour show. It made me very much aware of how much I do have and how lucky I am to have it. It is absolutely incredible to me that just $20 can mean the difference in a starving child's life as to whether they will live or die...that just $20 can bring a malnourished, dying child back to health and life just floors me. Everyone can help. Go to the Initiative's page and donate $20...you just saved a child. Seriously.
Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and I did not work in service to anyone today. I do not feel good about admitting that, but it is the plain truth. I heard that 50 members of Courageous showed up at Turner Field today, to help with Hosea Feed the Hungry, though, and I felt great pride at that, even though I wasn't there with them. Way to go, guys!
I have no excuse for my passivity today...I need to do better. My Leo lazy-streak is a mile wide, and I forget sometimes that I have to work hard to overcome that.
Tomorrow is arguably the Most Important Day in American History! We will be witnessing the Inauguration of the first African-American man to ever be elected President of the United States of America...President Barack Obama.
I did not think that this day would come during my lifetime, but it has, and I couldn't be more excited. This is HUGE! I don't know yet where I will be celebrating President Obama's inauguration, but I will definitely be posting more on this in the next day or two.
