Confession:

This morning I told myself I needed more spiritual discipline in my life.
More fasting. More praying. More reading. More listening.
Less talking, less watching & less eating. "I'll fast from sugar" I heard myself suggest. (Myself tends to be overly ambitious in the morning, leaving my afternoon persona to be overwhelmed.)

This evening, the sight of me eating dessert rivaled the chocolate cake scene in the movie Matilda. (For the record, it was a s'mores bake and I've never had anything more delicious in my life. Thank you Pinterest.)

Clearly, the need for spiritual discipline (let's just go ahead and use the term "self-control") is more glaringly obvious than it was a mere 14 hours ago.
