Laura and I began a Bible study program called "The Lord's Table" last Saturday. It is a Bible-based, 60-Day interactive course that will teach one to enjoy a newfound relationship with the Lord and how to find freedom from bad eating habits. The course is taught at Harvest Christian Center each Saturday morning and will last 12 weeks.

We are following the scheduled eating plan. Yesterday, the first day, was a "half day," meaning we ate half of what we would otherwise eat. Today is a "liquid day." Any liquids are allowed, but no solid food is to be eaten. We have V8 Juice, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, and beef consommé. Tomorrow, will be a "normal day." And so it goes.
