Day 18 - Is a brownie a fruit or a vegetable?

This morning I weighed 158.0 lbs. I just had to eat a couple of carrots because I had eaten no vegetables today. I did eat a brownie after lunch and a piece of cherry pie after dinner - I hope that makes up for the lack of vegetables today.

I did 100 push-ups. I hope to run tomorrow, but I'm not sure that I'll have time.

I have been reading out of Judges (7, 8, and 9). Lots of life lessons, some from good examples, some from bad. Like the officials of Succoth and Peniel who wouldn't feed Gideon's troops out of fear of retaliation from the neighboring tribes (who were about to be slaughtered by Gideon). God was on their side - and siding with God will always be the best bet. My commentary says, "Because God will prevail with or without you, be quick to join others who are engaged in his work. Lend support with your time, money, talents, and prayer."
