I am, presently, in the throws of trying to lose weight and earnestly seeking God and His Strength, as I know from past failures, I cannot do it by myself. This was today's Scripture reading in my Devotional and these "comments", as an added treat, have been a tremendous blessing. I love this site and us it often. Thanks for providing it! God bless! :)
