Deuteronomy 33:27
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee: and shall say, ‘Destroy them.’
..
It’s strange to think of food as ‘the enemy,’ but that’s the best way to look at it if we want to be effective in our diets. Taking off the pounds is a battle. In every battle we need ammunition. As Christ-ians, our ammunition comes from the Spirit of God that dwells within us all the time. God becomes our fortress; our refuge against the assaults of fattening foods. If we think we can

Who You Are
============
I find myself on the downhill slide of yet another trial in my
life where confusion seemed to be the only thing I was sure of.
.
Who, what, why, when, how, and how long were the questions I
didn’t have answers for.
.
Last night, I sat quietly and instead of asking,
I just listened.
.
God whispered to me.
.
Who I am is a child of His.

“Solace at Sunset”
By Bob Perks
.
Life appears empty sometimes. Times like losing
a job, ending a marriage, loss of a loved one, or
financial collapse.
.
All endings. I guess that’s it. Things that end remain
empty and hard to fill, replace or let go.
.
Then how do you explain sunsets?
.
It is indeed an end to something or many things. The
day ends, the celebration concludes, the band stops
playing, the dance is over, the lights go out and we
“call it a day.”
.
Seems empty to me.
.
Why then do we love sunsets?
.
It seems to go so fast when you don’t want the day
to end and much too slow when you can’t wait for it
to be over.
.
My curiosity asked “How long is a sunset?”
My searching found this answer. Rather factual,

Today we are proud to share a chapter from The Power of Attitude by Mac Anderson. In honor of the Olympics, we would like to share a story about an athlete who did not win his event. However, he finished, despite great difficulty…and, as you’ll see, sometimes finishing against great adversity can be a bigger challenge than finishing first. Sometimes, true courage is revealed through completing the race.

Please enjoy an inspiring story about Derrick Redmond.

The Derrick Redmond Story from
The Power of Attitude
by Mac Anderson
.
August 1992. Derrick Redmond from Great Britain was favored to win the 400-meter race during the summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain, but as he powered around the backstretch his hamstring snapped. Derrick tried desperately to finish the race, but he still had half the distance to go. Because he couldn’t walk, he
