Struggling

Pastor Brian,

I appreciate and enjoy your emails.

I'm having a hard time.

I've been skipping a meal a day (which has not been easy for me), and am happy if I lose weight, but I'm not sure what it's doing for me spiritually.

I enjoy our Tuesday morning Bible study group and the discussion, but it's hard for me to make time to read and really reflect on the passages, on my own after a long day. Maybe we've just been too busy this week, with my wife's sister and family visiting from Florida, but I'll keep trying.

It was good to see these emails. It really got my attention when I quickly read the subject line as "dessert". Since I fasted from Sunday night to noon on Tues, given up coffee and dessert/candy, I thought "O Boy we are getting together for dessert." OK after reading the emails I felt better because I too am having difficulty with this. I don't feel more enlightened or wiser or more in touch with God. But we talk and hopefully that will change.
Thanks all for sharing.

Hang in there.
Becky
