thing that happened to me during the 21 days. I got colonics, which I had received before, and coffee enemas, which I’d never experienced, and did everything they told me to do.
    Three days later I was feeling really good. Things were starting to roll; I was experiencing physical and mental changes. And for the first time in my life I enjoyed spending time alone. I started realizing that I actually liked myself! I took daily walks past the Vineyard’s restaurants and smelled the wonderful fragrances floating out of them, but I didn’t crave anything. I wasn’t tempted at all! I was so excited about what I was experiencing that I wanted to stay on the program. Mentally, I realized I was also shedding toxic emotions. I felt like a million bucks and also started thinking, “The world needs to know about this Diet Detox.”
    On one of my walks I had seen a church right down the street from the Inn. I realized it was almost Easter. I asked one of the women who worked at the Inn if she was going to church. She told me she wasn’t going to go to church; she’d be taking care of me. I had grown up a devout Catholic. In my family, Easter Sunday had been a big deal. I couldn’t believe that this woman who I knew had two children was going to be with me instead of her two kids! As I talked to the other staff at the retreat, I learned that she wasn’t the only one making this sacrifice to take care of me. I couldn’t believe it! I went into town and bought everything chocolate in sight—Easter bunnies, Easter eggs, chocolate-coated marshmallow bunnies, all kinds of Easter candy. At the supermarket one of the staff members saw me with all these sweets. She got a pained look on her face.
    â€œDon’t ask any questions,” I told her. “It’s all right.”
    â€œBut you’re doing so well, James. You should really stay healthy.”
    â€œEverything’s all right.” I took all this candy back to the Inn and closed myself in my room. Every now and then someone would knock on my door.
    â€œAre you okay in there?”
    â€œI’m fine.”
    I would come out of my room and everyone would be looking at me.
    â€œHow are you?”
    â€œI’m fine.”
    Later that day I gave all the women big Easter baskets for their children and all the people in their lives I knew were making a sacrifice because they would be caring for me. They couldn’t believe what I had done. I hadn’t been tempted by the candy at all!
    That night I pulled Roni aside and gave her some very high-quality soaps. “Please accept this gift,” I told her. “Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. I feel really grateful to God for what He’s doing for me.”
    â€œThat’s what will happen if you let it happen,” she told me, and explained that detoxing is the perfect time to really cleanse your spirit.
    â€œI have to go to church tomorrow,” I told her. I knew Dr. Roni would be going to church the next day and asked if I could join her.
    The pastor’s sermon that morning was very interesting but I have to admit I don’t remember what she said—the service ran late and I started getting hungry. I knew I had to have my next supplement soon or I was going to “crash.” Before the service ended, the pastor told the congregation that she was going to baptize a young lady. Dr. Roni knew we were already running late, so she told me that as the family walked to the front of the church we could sneak out quietly. Then the pastor asked if anyone else wanted to be baptized. Out of nowhere, Spirit grabbed hold of me. I stood up and said, “I want to be baptized.” Dr. Roni looked at me and said, “Really?!” The people in the church shouted, “Hallelujah! Amen!”
    I had no idea what I was doing, but the next thing I knew two men took me into a side room and put me in a robe. Before she baptized us, the pastor said we’d be
