Hurricane Irma’s Orlando path. Closest town is Windermere at 2:01AM.
Hurricane Irma’s eye fell apart just before hitting us. Our home is between the O in Orlando and the K in Kissimmee.
Hurricane Irma from our Son’s bedroom window.
Life would be easier if i didn’t pray every morning, on my knees.
Mornings are busy times for most of us.
It doesn’t take long, and it’s tempting to stop the 18-year daily routine.
In a way, flossing is the same way. It doesn’t take that long, but as one of the last things i do before sleeping, it would be easier to not do it, or at least not do it daily.

Easter Sunday is tomorrow. Facebook is starting to flood with all the images of Jesus on the cross and all the proclamations of how wonderfully lucky we are to have someone who loves us so much (John 3:16, right?).
Some of my friends and family (and probably some of yours) on Facebook have behaviors that make me question their integrity.
For example:
Harboring resentment and anger towards loved ones.
Talking negatively behind other people’s backs.
Habitually not tapping into the courage and strength we are supposed to be enabled with: “I can do all things through through Christ who strengthens me.”
To blame others and refuse to accept responsibility for consequences made from not addressing things, or from inappropriately addressing things.
i’m no Angel and never will be. i work diligently and open-mindedly to remember that the things i dislike in others are almost certainly the very things i demonstrate to others.
So i faithfully chip away at holding on to anything that feels negative.
There’s the chance some of the bullet points above sound like “talking behind someone’s back”.
i get that, accept responsibility for it, and at the same time, take solace in not naming names. i also find comfort, and motivation, in the serenity prayer.
Does it scare anyone else that our blind spots can be a real turnoff?
Scares the heck out of me.

Great reminder last night. i eat yogurts that are sugar-filled, Cholbani.
Who focuses on these contrary to mass marketing details?
Time for some changes?
In a brutal analogy, we literally terrorize our bodies with our lifelong poor wellness habits.
Praying for the determination to slay this demon.
Sugar.
And ignorance.
Our food choices limit or optimize our health.
i’m sick and tired of being 10 pounds overweight.
i’m also sick and tired of putting sickening fuel into my furnace.
