Now, to Become

 

Now,

To become more determined; more focused, disciplined to say no to enterprises wherein I am not an asset and the battle is not worthy of my weapons.

Now,

 To become disciplined in food and drink.  Giving glory to God for this temple called the body by guarded vigilance to what enters it.

 

Now,

To become more disciplined so as not to be duped by the “leaners” of this world.  Giving glory to God for discernment between the “pearls and the swine.”

 

Now.

 to become more disciplined and determined and focused on areas of growth-through reading, classes, meditation, praising God for that opportunity

 

Now,

To become more disciplined to write more.  Plan to leave more rather than consume more. To be a light in the world's darkness.

 

Now the hard part:  “Running the race set before me.”
