Today is a special day--our dear granddaughter's fifteenth birthday! We celebrated in style yesterday. (Now it is time to get back with the program!)

I see a very specific direction the Lord is taking me. There is a peace that comes when that awareness manifests itself. I have let too many carbohydrates enter my diet again.

We are "fearfully and wonderfully made," but I have abused my pancreas by carrying all this weight so long, it can not longer keep up. Protein and green vegetables will be most of my sustenance, and I thank God for that.
