I’m very excited…should have been doing this every year!
Comment by Greg Surratt — January 11, 2009 @ 8:56 am
I am so excited to see what God has in store for our Church during this fast, along with the things I will be Praying about in my own life.
Comment by Rebecca — January 11, 2009 @ 4:22 pm
This is going to be awesome!! I can’t wait to be ever so close to the presence of God. I know this will help make life impacting decisions in our church and our personal lives.
Comment by Angie — January 11, 2009 @ 5:39 pm
Fasting is amazing! More of God is what we crave! It is just true how close and clear God is when you fast. I pray his presence is all over us. “Savior, He can move the mountains, He is mighty to save!”

There’s a little group of us from LifeChurch.tv in Edmond who are in with you guys! We started earlier but will continue with you. Go God!

I knew there was a remnant of true believers at Lifechurch.tv : )
Comment by Greg Surratt — January 11, 2009 @ 10:56 pm
As always Greg I am all in on whatever our vision is as a church and I am excited to see where God leads us.
Comment by Rick Reed — January 12, 2009 @ 7:40 am
Thank you Greg for the baby feeding analogy. It really hit home for me. Partly because I have a seven month old and truly understand that although it’s really cute to watch them try to eat at seven months, it’s soooooo not cute at my age. I also watched as my son tried to do it entirely by himself and failed miserably, which just reminded me to let my Father help/guide me. Thanks again!
Comment by Krista — January 12, 2009 @ 11:48 am
I am a big fan of fasting and was excited about this opportunity. However, I prayed all day yesterday about what should be my focus. Then, last evening, my beautiful friend and neighbor, Ms. Betty Brown, visited my family and told me that her wonderful son Matthew had been arrested and was in jail for the next 3 weeks. While there, he has already accepted Christ and keeps saying, “I’m so happy! I can’t believe how happy I feel!” Praise God! Matthew will be my focus. Can’t wait to see what God will do in his life! Thanks!

I signed up because I thought it said 21 Day Feast – gotta get spell check.

Ate my first apple in 14 years it tasted like steak.
Comment by Wes — January 12, 2009 @ 7:37 pm
I started the fast and yesterday, I was under fierce attack from the enemy. It was a tough first day, but I know that God is Faithful and this sacrifice is important to show my Faith and Trust in him, to reveal what only he can in my life and our Church.
Comment by Rebecca G. — January 13, 2009 @ 10:15 am
Greg,
Just wondering how your fasting is going? As food, which you admitted, seems to be your one evident struggle in life, I imagine that it is harder for you than most who chose to follow this activity. Beth is correct, there needs to be another focus, because the more one thinks about fasting, the more one wants food… the old quantum physics at play. Fasting certainly demands lots of prayer in an outside direction. Thanks.
Comment by Marilynn — January 13, 2009 @ 2:39 pm
My husband and I just joined the Summerville campus and were very excited to start the fast. He’s doing great, but I have to be honest that I am not…the first day went ok, but today the devil went into overdrive. I didn’t hold to the fast today, but I would like everyone to hold me in prayer…tomorrow will be a better day! Satan will not steal my joy and I will reach a new level of closeness with God and the church. Amen!
Comment by Rachel — January 13, 2009 @ 5:25 pm
The fast is going well on day 2. Day one was tough! I think fasting caffiene had something to do with it. Didn’t realize it had that much power!
Comment by Greg Surratt — January 13, 2009 @ 5:42 pm
The Day 2 was really tough for me. It was the first day back to school and there was a stand of doughnuts and coffee for the commuter students (which I am). It was hard to say no. It seems like there is an array of sweets everywhere I go, but of course prayer has helped me fight off the heavy temptations (cookies!).
I think that one of my focus for this fast is to hear God’s plans for my life as far as school goes. Its funny how God has shown me so much already.
Good Luck Everyone!
Comment by Shardai — January 13, 2009 @ 7:18 pm
We got a phone call yesterday that a good friend of ours up North was feeling very financially desperate because he has not had any steady work for quite some time. He was going to set out on Friday by bus making his way to Alaska on the promise of a job there. His wife was not on board with this, of course, and they were very much at odds. We sat down to pray last night (with many others who love them, I’m sure)asking God to give them wisdom and that they would be in one accord. He hates where they live and has for as long as we have known them, so this is not a whim. He called us this morning (not knowing that we knew about this and we haven’t talked to him in months)and told us about what he was thinking but that last night, God intervened and through many tears, they have come to an understanding and are forming a plan for them to pray and research where God would want them to move. Isn’t that awesome!
Comment by Sue and John Peckham — January 15, 2009 @ 1:44 pm
Caffeine has been the hardest thing for me to overcome. I took one hour naps on day 1, 2, and 3 b/c I was so lethargic. Also had a splitting headache all of day 1. Today, day 4, I’m happy to report I am in great spirits and full of energy thanks to God!!
Comment by Steph — January 15, 2009 @ 1:46 pm
Shardai – Stay strong!
Sue & John – Incredible testimony
Steph – You don’t realize the power something has over you until you try to quit.
Comment by Greg Surratt — January 15, 2009 @ 2:09 pm
I can't tell if it's God talking or my stomach!
When I say I am doing great, it's not about the food part, I mean I am, but that is just a side note. The parts that make me doing great are the things I am in fact giving up have been replaced with reading spiritual books, Christian music, music with no words that make me think, bible reading, time with my husband or wellll ahhhhh chopping vegetables. It's not just about how your diet is going but how is the prayer, how is the growth, are the spiritual impurities getting flushed also? I could eat cheese, and man would I love a piece, but if I am not letting this fast work in my spiritual life as well then the physical lose is the only gain and on the big scale of things, my spiritual faults still make my butt look big.
Comment by Shellie — January 15, 2009 @ 10:16 am
FYI veggie burger does not eqaul flamed grilled red meat.
I have a new love for all God's creatures, that is if they are sitting along side my french fries on a dinner plate.
16 more days.
Comment by shellie — January 15, 2009 @ 10:21 am
Since day one, I have been under attack from the enemy. Splitting headaches on day 2 and 3, and today we found out that my husband has gotten laid off.
There is a blessing in disguise here though. I applied for a job at his company several months back, and even though I was in the top 3, I did not get the job. We found out today that the lady who was hired instead, has also been laid off. I feel bad for her and pray that she and all the other people who were laid off today would find new jobs soon. But PRAISE GOD I didn't get that job, we'd both be unemployed now. HE knows what HE is doing, I just need to trust in HIM. HE will continue to lift us up and HE will care for us during this time. I pray that this time draws my husband and myself closer to HIM.
Comment by Gabi — January 15, 2009 @ 10:28 am
This is the first time I have done a fast like this, though I have fasted on smaller scales. I have always found that when I am hungry physically, I am hungry spiritually. I feel God working in me and hopefully through me. I am excited about what we will learn individually and also as The Body!
p.s….. hint… make vegetable soup, it helps fill you up!
Comment by johanne hussey — January 15, 2009 @ 10:59 am
My husband has never fasted and really didn't understand it all. So we started last Friday cutting back and created a menu that works.For 15yrs I never really made him breakfast or lunch during the week. Now I can harldy wait to prepare his meals, we have grown closer to each other and the Lord. Our prayer life together has also grown. Of course we have each given up the things we love but there is no way that I will ever let those things come before my love for Jesus or my family. We are so blessed to be apart of Seacoast. Don't count the days enjoy the moments
Comment by Frank and Lynn — January 15, 2009 @ 11:06 am
The fast is still going ok for me. Fasting is not as much of a challenge for me as others, and I Pray for each of you now. I have challenges in other areas. I will tell you a Blessing, during this time of sacrifice. My oldest daughter who is 9, was asking me several questions yesterday about Jesus and the devil. We were able to talk about so many things on a deeper level, and I think because of this fast. She accepted Jesus to be her Lord and Savior, she did this when she was younger, but I can tell now that it has a deeper meaning for her. Now she wants to be baptised in March. Praise be to God!
Comment by Rebecca G. — January 15, 2009 @ 3:17 pm
My wife and I are very excited about the fast and have been doing well for the first 4 days. She misses the caffeine. When I think of all God has done for me, I become focused on Him and while reading my bible at night, I am proud to do this small thing for him. Apples, pears, fruit juice and raisins have replaced "the royal food". It is funny how your kids always want what you want (even now). My 6 year old twins have a bowl of maccaroni and cheese or spaghetti my wife has prepared and they start eating MY grapes. Don't they know that I need those grapes to survive tonight! Ha! Trusting and believeing that Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins is the only way to go to Heaven (John 3:16) and I'm so happy to do this with/for Him. I'm proud of all of these other posts as well in whatever capacity you are performing this fast. We are together during this time and ALWAYS in Christ.
Comment by Mike Kidd — January 15, 2009 @ 12:48 pm
This is my first fast and am very excited to be doing it alongside my christian family. I have been reminded of how many options we have when it comes to food, nevertheless, most of it is junk. like fruits and vegestables. God has a more simple, healthier way to go. I guess we just choose to feed our body more often than we choose to feed our soul. God is teaching me to worry less about what I am going to it and focus more on him to bring the comfort and joy that sometimes I seek in food.
Comment by carolina wells — January 15, 2009 @ 12:51 pm
Hey guys!
Im Caylee Mizzell Smith, Im 15 and I have been with seacoast for a year. When I came in September 2007, I had no clue what was in store for me. I come to church every sunday alone, and im apart of the west campus. I decided to do the fast mostly because my mentor asked me too. But I knew it was coming. I knew God wanted me to. But decided that it was time. Ive never done a fast before. I did lint, even know im not catholic because im a kid and we all like trying it. I usually failed to do it though. Id give us sugar, or something like that. But I decided to try it. So, I fasted facebook. Thats right, no facebook for 21 days. On January 12 when I got home from school, I quickly got on sent one message, and deactivated my account for 21 days. Im excited to overcome my want for it, but I know i can do it. i just need the strength from God. ive had the urge, but I pray and ask God for the strength.
Comment by Caylee — January 15, 2009 @ 4:55 pm
We are fasting from fried foods and drinking alcohol
Comment by Erica — January 15, 2009 @ 12:57 pm
I'm a grazer..I eat from morning on thru the night… but meat and bread aren't to my liking. Therefore, I'm doing a sun-up to sun-down no grazing, clear liquids fast. Day 1 was fine, on day 2 rationalization started to emerge. By day 3, I discovered how truly gifted a rationalizer I am. Day 4 is fine… perhaps commitment beats rationalizing. I do seem to have a lot of time. Waiting to hear what my Lord would like to do with it. This is good.

Day 1,2,3 was hard because of headaches and lack of energy. But the toughest day was yesterday. Why? My daughter celebrated her 18th birthday and no cake for me. I raised her right because she understands fasting even though she is not participating in this one. She said a prayer from my strength to keep going. But I believe I past the biggest hump, HER BIRTHDAY CAKE – CHOCOLATE WITH VANILLA WHIP ICING.
Comment by Brigid Dye — January 15, 2009 @ 2:25 pm
Hey Gregg,
Ok so it is day 5 and ugggg we are so surprised at how much processed food has taken over our lives before this fast. We are now trying to be ever so creative at the grocery store and with reciepes! We decided to take the time to pray for our daughters one each day for where they are in their lives. Looking forward to sun down on Saturday (maybe there won’t be a sun shining that day)
Comment by Buzz and Les Dabrasky — January 15, 2009 @ 6:41 pm
My group is doing the fast. Acutally my husband and I have done a 21 day fast for the past few years with Jenzen Franklins church.
It is amazing how the Word is coming to life as we study, how our prayers just seem to flow and how much we are feeling the presence of God.
Also, God has opened up areas where He has shown us how we can help others.
Food right now is just not in the spotlight. You will find the further you get into your fast the less you think about food.
Comment by Janet Martineau — January 15, 2009 @ 3:16 pm
Fasting is a great witnessing tool. Everyone thinks we are a little crazy but they all want to know WHY? My answer varies but always ends with an invitation to Seacoast. I realize the food part isn't that hard for me, I am a organic eater already, but giving up caffine is a challenge, Now I am down to really only one drink H20. Hope everyone is feeling better physically by now! I pray for each of us daily.
Comment by Laura — January 15, 2009 @ 3:20 pm
I’m doing it, but I don’t get it! I’m way more consumed with what and when I eat, not b/c I’m even hungry, but I’m one of those who LOVES change. My priorities and time spent in prayer/reflection is still the same minimal effort. I will continue to fast b/c I have faith that the Lord wants me to show some sort of discipline, but I need to spend way more time on what He wants my focus to be!!
Comment by kerri roberts — January 15, 2009 @ 7:31 pm
Greg – If fasting was dicribed in weather terms, I would say to you that I began this fast in a bit of a gray fog! Day 1 & 2 was thunder and lighting with a bit of rumbling! Day three was like walking through a strong wind storm, the wind was not on my back. However, day four & five have brought calm water,the Sun is shining on my face and brought light into my heart & soul. Clearity, is the only word I can think of. I know that each day the sun will shine brighter! I must admit the colder weather makes me feel more alive, an awakening of sorts, the cool fresh air cleansing each breath. I am noticing all the new and bright colors that have always surrounded me, but prior to the fast, I would allow them to pass me by. As I begin to stand still,I see the simplicity and beauty that God has created, I have inprinted these great visions into mind for safe keeping. I know the next 16 days will not all be fair weather. However, I will continue to dip by toe in the water knowing that I am working toward a safe harbor with a great bright light on the shore that will guide my way! I now relise that everything I needed, I already had, I just needed an awakening, to allow God to lift the fog, and enjoy the light that has always been right in front of me!
Comment by Kimberly A. Spangler — January 15, 2009 @ 10:46 pm
The fast has been amazing so far. A lot of positives are happening for me since the start of the fast that I can only attribute to God's blessings. The biggest blessing being a more positive attitude and better clarity on God's vision for my life. It has weirdly been energizing. Finding food on the go is like being on an episode of 'Survivor'.
Comment by JW — January 16, 2009 @ 5:20 am
I have made it to Friday on the fast , wow what a few days can do for the body & spirit. While I have slowed the feeding of the body the appetite for a stronger relationship with Jesus is growing daily. While the temptations are great, a McDonalds on every corner , dinners with collegues etc…The blessings are incredible! I'm sure the temptations will continue,my daughters 9th birthday is this weekend "Happy Birthday Olivia "( No Birthday Cake for dad ), but what a blessing she is and my family here in Charleston. GOD has great plans I'm trying to learn & listen. Seacoast is simply awesome.

Comment by cathy mart — January 16, 2009 @ 8:06 am
Why is it that every time I turn on the television I see an advertisement for a big burger or pizza???? Seriously, I am praying for everyone fasting and know this time of cleansing helps us all grow together as a church and with Him who has all praise! What a wonderful pastor we have and a place for gathering as the body of Christ – Our Home Seacoast!
Comment by Chad — January 16, 2009 @ 1:02 pm
I was a Seacoaster in M.P. in the nineties, and just began attending in Greenville. I’m fasting according to guidelines given on “21 day fast” sites at WordPress.com. Choices seem pretty liberal–is this a fairly standard list of do’s and don’ts?
Comment by M.E. Hibbard — January 16, 2009 @ 3:40 pm
Well, I love vegatables but I have eaten more veggies the past 5 days than the last year….already..Ha!
It is a very special time b/c
it really makes me so much more aware of being more disciplined. It's like I really want to eat my normal "what I want…when I want it" vs. but my committment to this fast is helping me with self discipline….Also, I am getting quiet and positioning myself to hear from God, & praying more for others. I look forward to what God is doing and is going to do in all of our lives. Blessings,
Sharon Miller

We have been studing spiritual warfare in our team going to Sri Lanka and Satan has tried to derail our commitment to this trip. The lord had laid on my heart to do a fast, before I knew about the 21day fast and as a result we've had one person threaten in the church parking lot, another receiving angry comments from clients, more than usual. One of the things we have noticed is the battle of the mind and how everything starts with the mind and controling what comes into it, anger, frustration, lust, ect. Everything seems to be at a heighten state knowing God and his promises and recognizing satan's attacks. We are trying to make sure we wear our armor especially the helment of salvation. We are becoming better soldiers.
Comment by Byron NeSmith — January 16, 2009 @ 5:42 pm
I attend Seacoast Manning. I am enduring the fast and yes, I am hungry. The fast is constantly reminding me that I need God to help me get through this just like I need him in every aspect of my life and that with God, all things are possible. It is only by his strength that I am able to endure. When I do eat, fruits, nuts, or white meat, I am reminded that the amount I am eating is probably still more than some people have had all day and probably more than they will have all week. Thank you God for reminding me of how rich I am. To Him be the Glory.
Comment by Kenn Jameson — January 17, 2009 @ 5:34 pm
Greg – Completion of day 7 of the fast. I am using analogies to weather for my personal fast. My last post stated that I would continue to dip my toe in the water, knowing that I was heading for a safe harbor with a bright light guiding my way. Well now that I have completed 7 days, I am now relize that I am waist deep in the water! The water is cool, but as I continue on, each day the water is warming around me. I attended Sat. evening services,the question of baptism was discussed. I now realize, that as I continue my 21 day fast, the future forcast has been revealed. I will be immersed in the warm waters of this journey. Landing me on the shore of a Seacoast! the light that guided me to safe harbor, now asking me to commit to a brighter light, that wll lead me to salvation! I used to tell my friends that I felt I was in my Renaissance Era! What I thought was an awaking (Oprah). I looked up the difinition, as you know it means Rebirth!!! If seven days of fasting has revealed such grace, I can not wait for the next 14 days! I will keep you posted on my future forcasts, thank you!
Comment by Kimberly A. Spangler — January 17, 2009 @ 7:08 pm
Sometimes when sick, our bodies fast naturally; have you ever noticed that when ill you are not hungry? I may be ‘diagnosed’ with End Stage Renal Disease, but thru it I’ve had to EAT RIGHT to live; and all the foods allotted seem to be from the EARTH…of God, pure and clean and simple. While I certainly lost too much weight, now on this fast for LIFE, I am maintainging weight, which is amazing because the diet itself is very much a FAST – from ALL the things I love and have put a priority on, like chocolates and dairy and nuts – which used to BE my entire diet! CHANGE…oh yes, it’s hard and takes courage, but have faith and be of GOOD CHEER and pass along the GOOD NEWS of the blessings that come (universal LAW) from sacrifice and obedience according to HIS WORD and HIS WILL manifesting in my Life. Revelation upon revelation are presented to me about myself, my TRUE self, so that I can repent (turn around) and change; like looking up into those crystal blue eyes of Jesus; taking His LOVING hand instead of a quick fix of ANY kind…brings that peace beyond all understanding. I am praying for EACH of you in the church that YOUR FAST and YOUR SACRIFICE will bring you closer to full reliance on HIM, who makes ALL things possible when we SEEK HIS KINGDOM FIRST.
Search me oh God and KNOW my heart (and reveal it to me in love anything you would have me change in my life, my attitude, my giving, my actions and reactions, my priorities!)
Amen SISTAS AND BROTHAS!

Wow, has this been a wonderful 9 days! I started with only two promptings: 1, that it be from all food, and 2, that my fast include Sundays. When I woke up Monday I asked God for further vision. Within a minute, I completely lost my temper with my children, i.e. God: Daughter, work on your temper.
So far things are going much better than I could have imagined. I’m making progress on temper and have not really felt hungry at all. Praise God!
Comment by Melody — January 20, 2009 @ 5:08 pm
The day before our fast was to begin, I was called to Atlanta with news that my mother may be living out her last days. I knew it would be difficult to fast while staying with family and going through the very emotional time of loosing my mother. But, I asked for prayer from my children, not wanting to turn to food for comfort,and my husband and I began the fast on schedule. We are still continuing. The fast was my salvation during this very difficult time! I did not have to rely on my own strength, but focusing on the Holy Spirit to sustain me through each step of the way. My family said good-bye together (2boys and 2 girls along with their spouses), we celebrated a life well lived, and rejoiced in knowing that our mother is spending eternity with her Saviour. Thanks be to God, and our extended family at Seacoast!
Comment by Linda Howard — January 21, 2009 @ 5:59 pm
so as my husband and i decided what our prayer focus would be, we expected to see the relief and discernment we were praying for. on the flip side, we have gotten worse news. as i laid on my face last night, like the psalmist writes in psalm 120, “in my distress i call to the Lord,” He reminded me of the miracle of this fast. how much deeper and darker would our news be if we were not already centered on the miracles that the Lord alone can bring? in my selfishness, i feel like i am far from praising Him for what is to come, but am “lifting my eyes to the hills for that is where my help comes from.” i certainly can praise Him for his perfect, perfect timing in all of this and the knowledge, not of his control, but of his sovereignty over the whole our lives and the mundane details of our everyday.
Comment by jill — January 23, 2009 @ 10:56 am
Hi Greg and seacoast church,
This is my first fast after being a Christian for a year. I am seriously trying to do the daniel fast so basically just eating fruit and vegetables. I have a concern though…I know Greg you said we were supposed to get closer to God. i feel very distant and emotionally confused…dont get me wrong I still have faith and still put my trust into Him, I just feel lost. I am fasting for of course new direction for the church, but personally to find my real, true purpose. Any advice to anyone out there?? jessi@plabay.net please feel free to e-mail with advice
Comment by jessi — January 23, 2009 @ 7:16 am
Well as I get older it is harder to fast!!! This only reminds me I need to do it more often!! I have done the Daniel fast in the past and it was hard. But I do it because I wish to please GOD. Yes on this fast I have wavier a little, all the same things everyone else is expering with headaches etc. Today has been a better day.
Sunday's have always been a blessing but I am really looking forward to Diary Queen!!
Anyway Praise the Lord for loving us no matter what.
Praying for everyone to hear and know exactly what and where God is leading.

I am sure you have heard it before but GOD IS AWESOME! He has done marvelous things in all our lives but I must say I am most excited to see how He is working in my kids lives! Elissa (7) and Palmer (16) have stuck to the fast even when they are starved, at school or being pressured by their friends – Elissa has even prays with her friends during lunch at school (if she gets in trouble I might need a babysitter!) We have grown closer to each other and the Lord. We should do this more often! Elizabeth
Comment by Elizabeth — January 24, 2009 @ 2:13 pm
The fast is almost over but I wanted to share something that happened whenI was praying one night, and real hungry. I visoned a little sailing size boat with me standing in the middle. It was packed full of junk food and all the things I cannot eat (Remember I'm starving!!). Then Jesus passed me a wicker basket full of friut. I looked around the boat and there was no room. See I found I can live confortably on everything God gives me from the earth. God has blessed me by allowing me to have a cheeseburger, but not when we dont leave room for his blessings. Now I will load my boat with his blessings first, and with whatever room is left, have a cheeseburger.. Thanks Seacoast for this idea of fasting..

Greg, It has been 10 days since my fasting weather forcast! I am immersed in warm water, and the sun is shining on my face. However, I have been experiencing Wind Shear!!!I guess I was enjoying the ride so much (backstroke) that the wind shear was beginning to throw me off course. I realize like most things in life, that you must keep focused on the task at hand. Just when you begin to feel comfortable, a whirlwind could be just over the next wave. The ebbs and flow of life's journey being centered and steady, holding course, that has been my experence! When I feel the wind shear, I stand still, that is when I hear the voice of God, not in my ears, but in my heart and soul, the voice is always clear. I have taken a leep of faith during this fast, thinking to myself, what will be the result of this excercise? Well, by taking this leap of faith, I have jumped, with great fear I must admit! But guess what, I have learned to fly! Even with Wind Shear that might be over the next horizon, I have found many angels inside that whirwind that have kept me safe in knowing that God is always with you in lifes adventure. I stated in one of my first forcast posting, everything I need I already have. That statement for me is true! Instead of asking God "Why Me"? I now know that the real answer is "Why Not Me"! If my journey with God can give hope to anyone who wants to listen, that even during stormy weather you are never alone! The sun will always be on your face, and the wind at your back, and the angels in the whirlwind will never allow you to fall. Thank You Greg, for "Kims Great adventure"

Hi guys. It really doesn’t matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Stock market courses. I found only this – Stock market training. One must have familiarity with the session system for good forex trading as understanding this means understanding the trade itself. No matter how new and expensive your car is, it will not run without fuel. Thank you very much

Good evening. My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-seven now, and we don’t know where the hell she is. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Comcast digital cable box. I found only this – Comcast cable collections. As of this email, it will be at least tuesday before they can send someone to my house to swap out a bad modem for my internet service. Regulated cable industry, with comcast bearing much of the brunt as the nation consumers have not seen those benefits from cable, she said. With love

Labor vanquishes all—not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Do you think so?
