Enough is Enough

I have been updating you on my New Year's resolution to lose weight. I am happy to report that I have hit the 25 lb milestone! It's a great start but I still have some to go. It seems that we don't do anything about the negative things in our life until enough is enough. That's why I started dieting. I had enough! Why don't we make positive changes sooner? Why do we wait, so often, for disaster to strike before we are moved? Many times we find ourself in the same situation in our spiritual lives. Some don't address their spiritual life until they have a major trauma in life. Many want to "cover the bases" so they are religious without true commitment. Even the committed can testify of down times spiritually. Whatever the reason, Susan and I have decided not only to address the physical need, by dieting, but to commit to Bible reading, prayer, and fasting and are seeing the blessing that comes with that commitment. We want to see our church become a beacon of light and hope for our community and believe that have taken important steps over the last year in that direction. I guess we came to a point spiritually where "enough is enough". How about You?
