My health is improving since I started a no sugar diet three weeks ago. I have lost 12 pounds and my blood pressure is better controlled. Hopefully this will reduce the possibility of more ischemic colitis attacks. The last one was on September 13 of this year. This is the same thing that I was hospitalized for a little over a year ago for nine days. I believe my improved health is the result of many praying for me.

Last Sunday was the start of the One Month Challenge. I challenged our congregation, including myself, to live for one month like they knew God would want them to live. I believe that the change will be so dramatic after a month that we will never want to go back to our old way of sinful, lazy living.
