The Puttings Off

Well, with limited battery life, I will atleast post what I plan to put off. So far, I have decided I would fast from coffee, sugar, and yeast (bread & beer). Probably 3 of the most consumed foods that make it into my body (minus the beer). I'm still workin though the probability and possibility of chemicals and preservatives. I know I can avoid them to a point, but in Scottsbluff, it is much more difficult to find these "whole" foods than in a larger city. That's the plan. So far so good! ;)

Today was my second day at the Y. And my second blog. Reflecting is hard for me. I type, I delete, I type, I rephrase...

Romans 8 and suffering is on my mind tonight after the Ash Wed. service at Plymouth. My thoughts were different than the message I heard. I sat and asked myself, "Why do we always ask, 'Why?' when suffering occurs? It's like we feel that we don't deserve suffering. Are we, as people, really so great as to ask why we deserve suffering? I don't think my self confidence is too high or too low, but I make decisions everyday that impact people somehow. Unless we were all perfect, suffering would cease to exist. Alas, we are not perfect. Suffering comes but joy comes in the morning. "after the birthpains" Paul says.
