A Verse to Live by

"No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength;
but with the trial he will also
provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it."
1 Cor 10:13

Everything in Moderation -- Hogwash!

An amazing thing happened on my way through the grocery store tonight. Stopped at Giant Eagle to pick up a Rx and paper towels. I left with a bag that somehow also included two boxes of Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls, two packages of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, two York Peppermint Patties, and a bag of potato chips.

Once home, I ate a big, green, leafy salad (courtesy of my sweet neighbor, Clark) and downed a glass of organic milk. What followed was a licentious dive into gluttony: one Reese's twin pack, one Peppermint Pattie, two handfuls of potato chips (balancing salty with the sweet) and three pairs of Swiss Cake rolls -- burp!

The excuse: tomorrow marks the first of my 20 chemo treatments.

The promise: restoration of moderation going forward.

I guess the salad is like ordering a diet coke with a McDonalds supersized value meal. Laura I love the blog. We are praying for you.
