Justice Fast

If you consider not eating for 30 hours and working around the community a great time, then I had a great weekend.

If you don't, then you are sane.

That not-eating-for-30-hours thing for my church was Friday and Saturday from 1 PM Friday afternoon to 7 PM Saturday evening. During the time that we didn't eat we got to go down to the judicial building in Kennewick behind Target and learn about the courtroom and how trials are run. The Judge there even tried a kid in our group. It was pretty interesting. The most amazing thing that I found out was that they can take off the cover to the defendant's chair and it turns into the electric chair and he can be shocked right then and there. Thankfully, no one got hurt too bad.

We hung out at the church after going to the Judicial building and my good friend Paul joined me in a round of knives on my new portable knife throwing board. That didn't last too long.

The next morning we went to an elderly Woman's house and did some yard work for her, worked at the food bank, did some work out at the church and then attended the Saturday evening church service.

Then we ate.

Everyone else seemed to only eat a plate or two of food and they were the ones that had been complaining the whole day that they were super hungry. I had prepared for the meal and had been drinking water all day to stretch out my stomach in preparation for the meal. I got this stomach stretching trick from the master-eater of the world, Crawford. The stretching of my stomach with the water left me with enough room for 4 full plates of dinner. That is not quite up to par with the 12 Plate Dinner Marathon at Granny's, but I was proud of myself.

I eventually came back home and slept for a solid 12 hours.
