So... for now it is the last fling! King cake, baking for the dessert contest tonight at church... not dieting... so obvious! Well, there will be time for that!
My mild little life where cake is sin just begs for color and a little vicarious living today!
"Dear God,
I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!
Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?
Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?
Please help me to gradually open my hands
and to discover that I am not what I own,
but what you want to give me.
And what you want to give me is love,
unconditional, everlasting love.
Amen."
