Make a 2014 resolution and join your church family for a Daniel Fast. This is not a cold-turkey fast, but an eating plan gleaned from scripture found in the book of Daniel. The 10 or 21-day fast revolves around vegetables, fruits, and other good foods, and it also includes times for prayer. A fast can get you off on the right foot physically and spiritually. Call David Stubbs (864-371-6088) to reserve a book about the fast that is easy to read and enjoyable.
