    August 7, 2005     And everyone is invited. Race, creed, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender, orientation, age, language...none of it matters. You're all invited!   
Your thoughts on Fast for Freedom and your thoughts about a pivotal change? I'm glad you asked. We (a very small group of us idealistic dreamers) are taking on the world that day. We are trying to start a world-wide movement for a One Day Fast on Aug. 8, 2008. The point is for those of us who are religious and political moderates to take a day of action to show the extremists that we are united...that we do not embrace their violent means of trying to bring about world change. We will change the world peacefully, by focusing on ourselves — not in a selfish way, but in an introspective way. We will take one day to deny ourselves our selfish desires and see what in us is fueling hatred, violence and extremism. We will look at what in us is causing division and strife. Once we've looked inside, we turn outward and stand up for what we believe. We reach across the lines that divide us, the institutions that oppress others, and make peace.
