I have already failed to keep my New Year's Resolution. :-( I arrived in Kemah last night just as Neal was getting off work and he said he would stop at a drive-thru and grab supper. Being tired from a 9 hour drive, ready to get off my sore tailbone, I neglected to tell him NOT to get me Diet Coke. Being the attentive husband that he is, and knowing that's what I always order, guess what he got me? Granted, I could have thrown it away and drank water, but my resistance was low and I succumbed to the desire for a cold soft drink. But starting today...does that sound familiar to anyone else?...no more artificial sweetener.
Another confession....Our Wednesday night class has started a 21 day spiritual workout regimen which is really exciting to me. We've all made commitments to what we will and will not do for the first 3 weeks of January, and hope to carry that over into the rest of the year. We have accountability partners to hold us to our commitments and mine is probably reading this blog. (Hi, Janet.) One of my commitments was to only listen to Christian music, no secular music whatsoever. Yesterday was challenging, trying to find Christian radio stations along the southward route. (Lots of Country...ugh!) But I was prepared with sermons and workshop tapes to fill in the gaps. On my way to the gym today, it suddenly occured to me that this particular gym usually has LOUD, HEAVY-METAL music playing. It's not so much the music I mind, since I usually can't understand most of the words and the music itself seems to energize me, but the disc jockeys are usually very crude. Today, the music was Easy Listening, which was better, but I still broke my commitment. Guess I'll have to wear earplugs tomorrow. What happened to that IPod Jeff said he was going to get for me?
Speaking of Jeff. What a wonderful gift he gave me yesterday. While driving, I was talking to him on the phone (I know...dangerous), and I was telling him about some of the awesome ways God was answering prayer the past few days. He told me that in HIS prayers, he thanked God for a praying mother. Sniff, sniff....how sweet is that?

LITA LOUISE BLEVINS (I forgot your real middle name) no more diet stuff! You have to be healthy for your cruise. Now about the music....you couldn't help that. You don't have to wear ear plugs. When you can't work out with me I usually try to get pray time in and I don't notice the music.
