I'm a volunteer firefighter and working on my EMT right now. I felt it was important to be involved in the community as a pastor, but I am just too young to be a Ruritan/Lion/old-people-social-club ;)

That might make for an interesting Christian spin-off from Rock Band.

They have nice story lines, I just wish I could buy the tv-version and not trick my mind into believing that my parents let me watch Coming to America as a 9 year old. Do TV-cuts still exist? I haven't watched tv since we got Netflix.

pros: rags are cheap and abundant. The white cloths were a blank slate of possibility afterward: it could be a kleenex, a duster, a napkin, a flag, a towel, the choice is yours!
cons: a TSR before the sermon made everyone ask "what is this about?"; perpetuates the idea that black=bad and white=good. Stinky middle school boys donated their old stinky clothes for rags.
application: The white cloth was used for various household cleaning chores thus eventually reverting the token back into a filthy rag.

I've fasted, and I believe there is benefit in self denial. Remember that Jesus said "don't let your right hand know what your left hand is doing" when it comes to good works but he also said "let your light shine that when others see your good works, they may praise God."
If you reveal your fast for praise then that's a bad reason. But if you reveal your fast to others that they may also praise God then thats the whole point.

I guess it is like one of those Mother Theresa riddles "do it anyway."

Baptizing the Lord in the latest cultural fads and using the best advertising techniques will only advertise a non-Jesus.
