72-hour Challenge / Day 2

My Experience: Well, I think I've discovered that I don't get along very well with UNIMIX (or at least as much as I ate last night). I had a full serving of UNIMIX before heading off to bed and experienced what to me seemed like hyperemesis. (Feel free to laugh at this point :^)  Needless to I'll be moving away from the UNIMIX diet to the more well-rounded sustenance diet. Rice and beans will never have tasted so good... and I can hardly wait for my plain cream of wheat this morning! So take it easy on the UNIMIX. Maybe try a little instead of a whole "serving." I was fine in the morning when I had little bits at a time, but having a whole "meal" of it for dinner was just too much for me, I guess. My Reflection: I'm actually looking forward to rice and beans, so Proverbs 27:7 (NIV) comes to mind first off. But after that, I can honestly say that my eyes are opened and that I'm glad I had a rough go of it. I'm a fairly healthy guy for the most part and my body couldn't handle the food I was given to eat. Not only that, but a little throwing up isn't life-threatening for me. Now if I put myself in the sandals of someone famished, throwing up could really compromise me. The point: Being hungry, being under-nourished, is a huge risk. I can't imagine seeing my children hungry or wasting away. Nor can I imagine being so compromised myself that I couldn't take care of them. All of this makes me want to do more to ease the suffering of at least a few of the hungry in our world. I hope your experience is doing the same.
