My favorite Crock-Pot! (and DF days 9-16)

I have to rave about my crock pot for a few minutes.

I have had this crock pot for about 6 years.  It has seen me through many a cold winter and provided my belly with delicious and hearty meals.  About a year ago, I was getting ready to make a pot of soup when I noticed the handle on the lid was partially broken.  If you know anything about crock pots and their lids, you understand my challenge.  You really need to be able to lift the lid without getting burned by the heat/steam/etc.  I was making due with the back end of a spatula to prop up one of the sides and using a pot holder, I could grab the other side and lift the lid in order to stir or add other ingredients, BUT this was only a temporary solution.  So for a period of time, I just stopped using the crock-pot, all together.  Then over the summer, I read an article that expressed the level of value companies place in customer service.  I took a shot and emailed the customer service department for "Crock-Pot". 


What do you know?!

The asked for some key pieces of information and sent me a new lid FREE OF CHARGE!

I received it in a few days and have been using it and raving about the brand, "Crock Pot" ever since!

Why do you love your crock pot?  Do you think one brand is better than others?  Have you even had a situation where a company replaced a part FREE of charge?

Daniel Fast Prep

After much considering, praying, reflecting, I have decided to do a 21 day Daniel Fast.  I am new to fasting so would love to hear your experiences with the fast - this one or any others you have enjoyed.

Prepping for Day one through probably day three took place the last 2 days.

I decided to start on the Daniel Fast for Spiritual Connection, Self Control, and Weight Loss.  I purchased the book called The Daniel Fast by Susan Gregory.  It arrived over the weekend and I will be using the guide throughout the fast.  I am very excited to see where God would meet me and where he will take me.

I've done a Daniel Fast before in 2012 but with my church and for 40 days.  This one, however, was not guided - as we were free to choose the type of fast and how we would set ourselves up on and with it - and may have allowed for some foods which are not really to be eaten for these 21 days.

I will let you know the outcome of day 1 tomorrow!!

Here I go!

Please share your fasting experiences in the comment area below. I'd love to hear your ideas and of your breakthroughs.
