Spring again

Well, we've been back to Spring again, praise God! It hit at least 60 degrees here today. I just love it.

Some people from Anthony and Lori's church in State College are doing the "Daniel fast" for 21 days. They had done it before when Anthony was single and I had done it shortly afterward when he told me about it. So this time I'm doing it along with them. The other time I ate nothing but fruits and vegetables. This time we're including whole grains and nuts and legumes, which makes it so much easier to do, being able to include brown rice. I'm amazed how I've been able to do it without much struggle this week, in spite of making regular meat meals for Dick and Destiny. I guess the timing is right. I'm even more amazed that this morning I weighed 6 lbs. less than I did on Monday morning.

Last week I received a book in the mail that I did not order. I have no idea how I got to be on the mailing list for this book. It's called "A White Stone." It's a novel projecting what it could be like if revival really did happen here in our country. It's not the best-written novel, but it is very fascinating, even more thought-provoking, and very convicting. I guess it's not coincidence that I received this book just when I'm doing this fast.

I needed some motivation to clean my house today, so I called those of my family that live in this area and invited them to come here tomorrow evening to play games. I'm looking forward to that. We have so much fun together. My parents are getting ready to move Feb. 28th to Gretna Springs, a very lovely retirement community. We're so happy for them, even though my Dad will no longer be able to have the big garden he enjoyed so much.
