church, mama, video, grocery shopping, candy

Church yesterday was very good,  both times. That pastor is a powerful preacher.  So many of the people in there are just so friendly and it is not a cold church.  I love being in this church .  I am excited to see what God hs in store for us here.

I called mom this morning and she seemed to be in a good mood .  Later I talked to my sister and she had also talked to mom and she complained that mom seemed to be particularly bitter today. Amazing how justa a few minutes can make such a differance in someones outlook.

Jack Lalanne died this morning,   he was probably the first tv exercise guru.  OR at least he was the firt one that I remember seeing on tv many many years ago.  He was 96 years old.  I saw him interveawed several years ago and he looked like he was in maybe his 60's .    HE was asked how he kept so active and he said he never stopped exercising and even at his age he still exercised an hour a day.  and he said he ate healthy.  Mostly vegetables and fruit. 

I am taking a fast from tv  I just got to the point that i felt tv was ruling my time.  The onlyl thing I watch is the weather and  a little bit of the local news.  And I do watch religious shows.  I have many of the gaither singings and a Kirk Talley and Dottie Rambo.  A good friend made a video for me of Yellowstone park a year of seasons.  Beautiful scenery and music, mostly southern gospel songs.  I have seen deer and ducks, and buffalo, and flowers and snow. and rainbows, and waterfalls, and frogs, etc.  it is interesting but watching the snow makes me cold.  lol

Sometime ago I won a 75 dollar gift card.  Tonight dh and I went grocery shopping with it.  Almost spsent it all on 4 bags of groceries.  I figured we would splurge a little bit and so we each got a small bag of candy he got chocoate maltballs and  I got a small bag of pnut butter cups, the miniature ones.  So I got 5 out of the bag and it has been so long since I ate sweets that I acrually did not want the last one, but I ate it anyway because it was candy and I am supposed to WANT to eat chocolate right????? So why didn't want to ?  Must be something wrong with me not to want it.  So I ate it anyway.   It made sense while I was eating it but it sure does not make much sense now. 

I went walking today and plan to go tomorrow but I may not be able to because it is a 70% chance of rain.  Too wet to go walking bt the god thing is it will get warmer.   It is supposed to get almost 60 degrees/ That will feel like a tropical temperature compared to what it has been like the last couple of days. 

Stay warm everyone.
 Sleep well
God bless

  1. hey Joy, i know how you feel about eating all of something, because i'm supposed to want it or because it's on my plate and i don't want to waste. it seems like that kind of thinking is ingrained in us, but i believe God can deliver us from anything, including a mindset.

    Joy, i pray that you are at peace with your past. God separates our sins from us as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). when He looks on you, He doesn't remember your sins. we will not stop sinning so long as we live, but as Christians we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).

    you have to forgive yourself, Joy. if God doesn't bring up stuff on you for which you have repented, you have no right to bring it up on yourself. it's something i struggle with, but we can't do more for ourselves than Jesus did for us. we can't do anything for ourselves at all; it's all about God!

    i love you and pray for you and your family!
