Thinking a lot about the spiritual discipline of fasting as I approach some big decisions in my life.
Check out this post from Mark Driscoll on the issue.

What do you think about fasting?

I have some good friends who run a ministry called Breakaway Camps.
There website explains: Breakaway Camps provides a program of outdoor recreation for disadvantaged young people, primarily 10-15 year olds, for the purpose of improving their lifestyle by providing alternatives, which will give them a sense of achievement and self esteem.

The guys who run it are Christians who love Jesus and have a heart for disadvantaged kids.

Very recently they purchased a property to be used as a camp-site. A beautiful patch of land in the Victorian bush, just outside Buxton… The same Buxton that was burning out of control a couple of weeks ago.

Below is a series of short videos taken by a couple of the Breakaway Camps guys after the fire had passed through the property. Amazingly, no, miraculously the fire burned right up to the buildings and then stopped dead!

See for yourself:

“Jesus got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.”
