fast food…i mean, fasting food.

First, we want to extend our deepest apologies to Dave Sliker and Amanda Beattie, our two biggest fans. Granted, at this point in our blogging career, you are our only fans, but let the record show that because you were our first fans…to us, you will forever be our biggest fans.

We realize that we owe an explanation for our extended leave of absence…so to those who care…here it is:

We were busy.

Note: We want to take this opportunity to expel any myths or misconceptions that sock-puppets have committment issues. Just because we don’t have legs doesn’t mean we can’t be faithful to the end.

In other issues, we thought this would be the prime time to talk about the 40 day fast. Tomorrow is day 7 and, as Stil reasoned earlier this evening, we only need two more sets of 7 days to be approximately half-way through…which for the layperson…is just half-way. 40 days is a heck of a long time to go without cheez-its…but it’s for the Kingdom, which makes it worth it.

But in all seriousness, Stil was talking to Judy Doughty the other day and Judy said that this is the most significant fast she has been part of since coming to IHOP. Yowzers! Folks…we think Judy’s onto something. The fact that “The Summer of Love”, “The Jesus Movement” and Israel taking control of Jerusalem all took place 40 years ago is food for thought, to say the least (no pun intended). This call to stand in the gap for our nation will have signficant impact on our future, that we are sure of.

We totally appreciate IHOP’s approach to fasting: “Don’t ask, Don’t tell”. BUT we know you’re probably curious as to how we are fasting…seeing as we’re sock-puppets. So for the sake of education we’ll tell you. Stil is doing a lemonaid detox fast. Stumpy is fasting from fasting.
