The Thinker

Slow Down and Fast

You may have been wondering where I have been for a week now...well we were fasting.  Our family decided that we all would fast (in various forms) along with our church.  The week was very peaceful and I feel like it served its purpose...at least in our family.  Fasting is something that I make a pr…
