Eating Healthy

So I'm pretty sure that I'm not supposed to be eating sugar. I felt like I wasn't supposed to for a long time, and I thought it was God telling me, but I ignored it, and kept eating sugar and sweets. Then I find out that some of the communitas people have given up sweets until all the houses sell. Maybe that's why I was convicted? So I kept ignoring, ignoring, even eating more of them. But at the retreat in DC, I decide I was out on the whole sweets thing. I've been weening myself off of sugar in my coffee, etc., so Now I haven't eaten junk for a week. No cookies (THAT ONE IS HARD), no chocolate, no nothing that is junk or sugar or sweets. Feels pretty good.

I also told superstar that when I got back from the conference, I needed to start eating right. So she is packing my lunch so that I eat well at school. And it really feels right to not eat junk. I mean, I have NEVER limited sugar or sweets in my life. I wanted it, I ate it. When I wanted, what I wanted, whatever. So I think God is preparing me for something. Maybe just helping me to clear all the toxins out of my body that I have been pumping in there.

But I have to admit, Wednesday night in NYC, I had a 7 oz. burger at a place near Kallen's. MMMMMMMM. It was so good. Pastor didn't think I could eat it, but I did. All of it. But I did not have dessert. I've also really been into eating apples this week. I never liked eating apples, but they are really tasty, especially the red delicious kind. Now, sick mother, you know the rest of the story.

Thank you! I'm right there with you! So is Sick Pete by default. If you like red delicious and are craving a sweet - find a Honey Crisp apple - they are sometimes hard to find - BUT they are SO YUMMY! Just like eating a sugar stick ; )

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

NASCAR is COMING. I Like Parties.

I haven't blogged about NASCAR as of yet, but that's because it's the off season. I am a certifiable NASCAR addict, junkie, whatever you want to call it. Always hated it growing up. Then I went to a race. Now I can't stop. I don't like most kinds of racing (although bus racing has caught my eye), but give me Cup, Busch-I don't care, I'm still calling it Busch, or Truck series, and I am happy like little school girl. And so, here it comes, and just for those of you that don't know me-here are some quotes I may have heard at NASCAR events: "I like parties." "Yup. Laid down by the generator, now he's dead." "You mean they were putting up a flagpole when they were electrocuted?" "He's a REAL chef?" "Them fire ants hurt like #$%@!" "I'll go check on the camper, you go to the auto store with Darryl." "You didn't bring a shirt with you, did you?" "There's cooki
