9-5-08 (Friday):
After (2) weeks of prayer and counsel with my Friday morning accountability group (Terry Weaver, Keith Campbell, Scott McClean, Bull Griffin, and Bill Ross), I called Maurice in the afternoon and told him God was leading me in the direction of building his mother a new home. It was then that Maurice told me he had been fasting (not eating meat) for the last two weeks. I felt as if God had lifted a burden from me after my conversation with Maurice. I told him I wanted to meet his mother on Sunday 9-7-08 afternoon and he agreed.
