I am going to jump into the Thin Within world with both [...]

I recently had another dethroning of one of my idols. I have the tendency to look for people who have what I want and idolize them. A fitter body, a cleaner house, a more faithful devotional life.

(Ok, so I’m a day late, but I’m going to pretend I got this post in on time.)
I am happy at (0/0)! (And technically, since I’m really writing this on Wednesday, the 18th, I’m down another pound.) Woo hoo!!
