Sugar Baby

I promise this will be the last post about sugar! Tomorrow will mark one week that I have gone without sweets. I still use sugar in my coffee etc., so it has not been eliminated from my diet, but I have not had the cookies, cake, desserts that I had been so addicted to.

It has been a good week though. At first I felt "yucky" and could tell that my body was releasing the toxins from my body. Then after that I had renewed energy and just felt good! It seems like I got some confirmation that I was on the right track. First an emai came - not verified, but was from a medical standpoint about the dangers of sugar. It talked about cancer cells feeding off sugar - which I wasn't very concerned about, but very interesting anyway. Then in a conversation at work about a dinner menu, the talk turned to sugar and how damaging it was to the body. Lastly a newsletter from Prevention was on sugar and the damage it can do to your skin! So those were encouragements through the week as I refrained from sweets.


THEN.....




A very thoughtful person with a leftover dessert stopped by! She knew from experience that a home with boys always welcomes food! This is a leftover Milky Way cake from a birthday celebration. The boys loved it! And boy, did it look good! But there are times that to achieve strength...resistance must be used..and it was certainly used in this case and I have not succumbed to the desire to dive into this cake!

Psalms 119:103 "How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

WFW – Write It On My Heart

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel       after that time, declares the Lord.    I will put My laws in their minds       and write them on their hearts.    I will be their God,       and they will be My people.  Hebrews 8:10 On a recent field trip to a museum featuring the days gone by, we sat in an old schoolroom as the teacher introduced us to the quill pen and bottle of ink.  She cautioned us to use extreme caution using the ink and told us that if it got on our skin or clothes, it would not come off. This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word.  As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes w...
