Off to get my three week check up. I have lost twenty two pounds at this point. Feeling better and able to get around much better. I have created a new me in my mind, like the old me; tall, slim and strong. I remember the days when I could work from dawn to dusk, eat anything I desired and sleep like a baby. I want most of all to be working again and strong. My goal is to loose one hundred and thirty five pounds. My target is within thirteen months. Yes, I am aiming high. With God: "All things are possible".

S. 12
And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that
he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to
catch him in his words. 14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master,
we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the
person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give
tribute to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he,
knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny,
that I may see it. 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is
this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. 17 And Jesus
answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to
God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
O. The
Pharisees try to trick Jesus with questions of controversy. Jesus turns the
tables and they are astounded.
A. I
should respect those that lead my country and follow the law. I should also
repect God and follow his law. Honesty, integrity, virtue and faith are my
hallmarks.
P. Father;
reveal every area of weakness in my life that by faith I may be transformed
into a more Christ like man. Amen.
