A few years ago I ran across this little book with a different take on the traditional nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill. I believe it's done by the UK,Australia and New Zealand's branch of Samaritan's purse called "Turn on the Tap" program. I tried to order some to share with some of the kids (and adults) in my life but couldn't get through the international red tape. Could be I haven't tried hard enough.
The plan is to ditch the morning coffee, skip the lunchtime soda and do away with the nighttime beverage and instead drink water for 40 days. Save the money I would normally spend on drinks and give it away torwards the building and restoring of wells, building filtering systems and education. Come join me for 40 days of water.

Day One
So far so good, this morning was a little rough not getting to smell the familiar fragrance of my coffee machine's brewing timer turning on at exactly six oh five and the joy of sipping on a hot cup of Joe while getting ready for work. I popped a couple of Ibuprofen's to subdue the inevitable coffee headache, drank 8oz of water instead and thanked God for the assistance he promises me in my time of need as I headed off to work. I keep reminding myself that this is a good thing.
