I must confess to the 5 or so people that read this blog that I have failed! I failed in such a way today that I am not sure is to forgivable! I gave in to an incredible temptation...I broke my fast of not watching TV for about 6 hours this afternoon...I watched the 50th running of the Daytona 500.
I will admit that I thought about and a lot went into my decision (which I won't share now because it would be perceived as making excuses and that would an accurate assumption). I also spoke with a particular youth pastor friend of mine (who will remain nameless) who told me he fasted OSU games for the entire season...except the OSU v Michigan and Bowl games...so I am not the only one to give into such tempation.
So I gave in, I watched...I really enjoyed it, because by Tony Stewart finished 3rd and could have won! Anyway...at 7:30pm when the coverage ended I turned of the TV and will resume my fast! The cool thing, I don't feel condemned or convicted! I know that God knows my heart and even though I stumbled and messed up, he allows me to get back up dust myself off and continue! A valuable thing to remember in life...wether you are fasting or not!
I have a crazy week this week and my beautiful wife is sick today with the flu...she puked from 12:30am till 9:30am...so I am trying to keep my girls and me from catching what she has...please pray...the last thing I need to to this week is get sick!
