New Year

Tomorrow will be a new year. Tonight I go to a murder mystery theater with friends. I expect to have a good time. New years seem to give you an opportunity to make new and better choices. But you have the capability to do that all the time. Like my Weight Watchers thing. I can lose weight if I choose. I can stay in my Bible more if I choose. It's hard, this discipline. The word diet actually comes from the words "day by day." That's what it is: a day by day struggle. To be joyful, to be hard on yourself physically,to be hard on yourself spiritually so you don't get spiritually fat and lazy. Lucky for me, I'm a Christian. I have God's help. Not so easy if you aren't. Not so easy even if you do. Just saying.
