What a name for a day. What about Fat Monday, Fat Wednesday, Fat Thursday, Fat Friday, Fat Saturday or Fat Sunday? That's what most days feel like when I pull on my blue jeans. I like to think that the dryer shrinks them, but the truth is, I eat more than my body really needs.
It's almost Lent. I give up something during Lent. The last two years I've said I was going to give up 10 pounds during Lent. The most I've ever accomplished was 4.
I spend way too many of my waking hours thinking about food. I love food. I love to buy it, prepare it and eat it. Maybe it's not so much that I love food as much as it is that I love the taste of food. Has food become my god? At times, sadly, yes.
This year during Lent I want to focus on Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. It will be interesting to see how the Lenten season unfolds for me in regards to this verse.
Please consider giving up something in your life for the next 40 days (the number of days in Lent, not counting Sundays) and see how much you are blessed.

porcelain sink, empty of dirty dishes
roses blooming full on the kitchen counter
freshly laundered dish towels
