Day 5 of Fasting

Hey everybody!
Here is a quick update of how everything is going. After 5 days im feeling good still! I havent died and I find that my hunger is starting to subside. I've found that the smell of food is much more intense now though! I wonder if by not talking, my other senses such as smell have gotten better...
something to ponder on maybe.
Also, the whole no talking thing seems quite the struggle. As most of you all know I tend to me a man of many words (sometimes too much) but I'm figuring out my own kind of sign language. So far so good. People seem to understand what I'm signing most of the time. But when they don't I some prepared; I keep a pen and paper on my persons so I can write them and tell them what I'm trying to express.
After 5 days i really have to recap on what I've learned. I've learned alot about how God speaks and how it is a still quiet voice that you have to listen for and have your heart prepared to hear. I've also realized how much i always use to say, and how maybe not all of it is meant to be said out loud.
I'm now starting to understand the saying 'think before you speak and act' at a deeper level. Thanks Mom for teaching me that. I finally understand it!!!!

Well i gotta go cause im getting baptized in Santa Monica!!! and then i can talk and eat!!!
