is going on this week. Which (among other things) means there is a LOT of I-shouldn't-eat-this food in the building. I had a dentist appointment yesterday, which snatched me away from the cookies in the nick of time ... but today there's a need for a lot of self-discipline!
Walked and swam yesterday, and tracked calories & exercise in the pocket pc.
So there were some victories!
I was reading in Genesis 35:1, where God tells Jacob to go back to Bethel, where He had met with him before, and build an altar. Jacob then gets busy and purges his household of idols that had collected. We need to look back to the places God met with us in the past and remember (and even re-build) those old altars. Other "gods" creep in unawares!

Glad you're able to stay focused with all the "distractions" around (aka cookies, etc.). Strength and endurance - that's what I'm praying for you for the week.
And about those gods...ain't it the truth???!!! It's like spiders. You clean, you clean, you keep on cleaning, and still you wake up to find an icky spider on the wall!
*sigh*
Love ya,
Carol :)
Amen to that Carol! :)
But God is good to us ... He doesn't make us deal with ALL the "spiders" at once. It would be WAY overwhelming.
