Impatience (Extended week of no dairy, no sugar)
These are not my words; I have rearranged a bit and added my own commentary: "I don't like to have to repeat myself.

It’s A Hot One! (Day Six of Round Two)
The days are growing shorter. As summer sprinted across my calendar and September arrived on the scene, I felt gypped! Where had the summer gone? And yet, suffocating heat with summer’s balminess has continued into September and with the absence of rain, I feel the ground has even begun to moan. But now, I’m ready! … Continue reading It’s A Hot One! (Day Six of Round Two)
Whew! that was a close one! (Day Three of Round Two)
What doesn’t belong in this picture? “It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it,” (Ecclesiastes 5:5, NLT). As I explained in my blog post “Round Two,” I chose to participate in another “no sugar or dairy fast” for the month of September.
