Today I hardened my heart, again, against God. Why?

Because I had convinced myself that it does no good to do what is right by God, to live for Him and others and not myself. And I had started feeling sorry for myself.

Although my circumstances have improved a great deal the fact is that I am in a sort of prison. I live in a nice house, have a nice bedroom, a wonderful private bathroom. I have food in my belly and a computer and internet access galore. I can...

You know sometimes I get discouraged. I don't mean just with how things are going economically and otherwise. I mean on a more personal level...with my life.

Call it an ongoing mid-life crisis (after all I am 51 years old...I think LOL) or perhaps a poor diet of sorts (I don't eat very well not because I don't have the opportunity to do so but mainly because I hate taking time away from my computer work to go and cook something better than just peanut butter and jelly sandwiches)....
