While my food fast is finishing, I will still continue on the water-only fast up to Easter. I’m thinking coffee in the morning, pop at lunch, beer at night…but I probably won’t do it. 
I counted the money that people have given so far in my water bottle. $53.17. That’s a far cry from the $300 it will take to just protect one water source in Uganda, so I either have some work to do in getting people motivated or I have some cash to come up with!
One story from the water bottle has really touched me. There is a gal who is associated with one of our church ministries. Her family doesn’t have much. Money is tight. They live in a trailer in the woods and have two special needs children. And she has a heart of gold. She told her boys about what I was doing and tried to help them understand the needs of people in other parts of the world. The boys decided to search throughout the trailer and find all the loose change they could. She came in the next week with a stack of pennies. Like the widow’s mite, those pennies are probably the most costly in the water bottle. I treasure them.
