Fasting for Haiti

Tomorrow, unbelievably, February 12th, is already one month since the earthquake.
President Preval suggested that we have memorials for people who died as a result of this catastrophe. And many people are calling for a 3-day fast starting tomorrow. Some people are suggesting that people fast completely from 6am - 6pm and then have only bread and sugar water during the night. Of course, we hope those who are sick or seriously injured don't follow this. But we are going to fast. And our church is having a special service tomorrow. The church will be open all day for prayer and then at 4pm we will have a memorial service where people will come up in front and say the names and ages of their family members or friends who have died. Venita (see posts from Saturday-Monday about Venita) is going to say the names and ages of the people in her family in our church even though she doesn't speak much English.
