Greetings Lake Deaton Friends and Family,
A few weeks ago, I started a diet. Ugh! I decided I needed to get healthy before the big move. The first week was fantastic. I lost weight every day, eating healthy food was no issue, and I was a happy camper. Then came the second week, and that is when temptation entered. The first thing was a big staff brunch with lots of yummy food. I was tempted not just to eat things not on my diet, but to overeat. The next temptation came on Saturday. I drove to Ocala for a hair appointment and passed two McDonald’s to get there. Now usually, I do not eat at McDonald’s, but on that day, chicken nuggets and fries were calling my name. I stopped and got lunch at McDonald’s, and from then on, the weekend just went downhill.
We all struggle with temptation; it is part of living. Even Jesus was tempted. Some temptations are little, and some are big, but they all lead us to do something that we should not be doing. This weekend, we will talk about temptation and how God works in our lives to lead us away from all the things that tempt us. Join us this weekend on Saturday at 5 pm, Sunday at 9 am, or 10:30 am.
Thank you! See you this weekend.
