I’m really excited to be a part of the 40 Day Fast going on over at InspiredToAction.com.  In short, it is a way to bring about awareness to area of need in the world (either a cause or a country) and an organization that strives to meet that need. 
Today is the first day of the 40 Day Fast, so check out Brant Hansen’s post “Where God Lives“.

The schedule is as follows.  You can subscribe via RSS to follow along at InspiredToAction.com to stay up-to-date on the daily posts!
