Fix Your Eyes

Have you ever noticed how a dancer fixes their eyes on one spot while spinning? Their heads spin quickly around to hit that one spot. Helps them keep their balance.

Freedom From Sin, Part 2: Staying Free

Do you need a breakthrough where you feel you’ve already had one, and regressed? That’s where I was (see Freedom from Sin Part 1), and realize now I can easily be there again (and again) unless I understand how it happened and make some changes.

Don't Miss Out

The other day, Don and I were driving home from Hershey. There’s a spot along the road where you crest a hill and WOW, an amazing view is off to the right. I’ve wanted to take a picture of that for a long time but kept missing the opportunity.

Appearances Can Be Deceiving

There it was.

Standing proudly and swaying in the breeze.

Fitness Friday: One Habit that should NOT be Daily

Woohoo, down two pounds since yesterday!

OK, holding steady, that’s good.

 

Man, how could I have gained a pound?  I’m barely eating ANYTHING!

 

OK, lost that one again plus one more, back on track.

 

What, no change?  I’m eating even less now than yesterday!  What’s the use.

Now we’re talking, another pound bites the dust.

 

And another one gone.  Looks like my efforts are paying off…FINALLY!

 

Sound familiar to anyone?  

Daniel Fast Update: FOCUS!

It’s mid-afternoon, day three of my Daniel Fast. I’m sitting at my desk, working on a tedious schedule. I wasn’t hungry, and yet I wanted something to eat. Visions of Cheez-its danced through my head. I could taste them, smell them, and I wanted them. The more I thought about them, the more I craved them. My mouth started to water in anticipation of that first bite.

What's Cookin' - Part 1

Don and I are having a cookout today, and I decided to try making homemade baked beans.  Step one is to soak the beans, which I did last night.

Step one, check.

Step two is to put them in a pot with 5 cups of water and bring them to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours. I added a bit more water, just to be safe.

Step two, in the pot, stove on high, check.

Oh yes, I need to send an email to someone who is coming today and ask them a quick question.  Won’t take but a minute.  I’ll be right back down.
