Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 ESV

Today, this verse in 1 Peter really hit home, in a funny way.  I am in and out of my manager's office all day long with questions, concerns, updates, etc.  Her secretary has candy in a bowl all the time.  I mean, ALL THE TIME.  I ate a fun size Snickers and a fun size Twix bar today, thinking it would be no big deal. Well, I get home and start working on dinner and I forgot about them!  So my goal of 2000 calories a day wa overshot by 141!  Guess how many calories those two are?  140 each!  If I had only eaten 1... oh well.

Mindless eating is so easy for me to do.  If I am not sober and vigilant, I am actually the one who is devouring things!  I haven't walked yet so that will help.  Praying for peace, strength and hope.

I also found out yesterday that one of my favorite bands is calling it quits.  Thank God we had David Crowder*Band while they were around, but come 2012 they will be no more.  The closest concert for their farewell tour (featuring 2 other favorites, John Mark McMillan and Gungor) is Chicago.  Maybe God will work something out.
