Sugar Fast Day 19 Lately I have been feeling weary. Not so much from too much to do, but from mental fatigue. I am a creative and my mind is alway “on”. I am always thinking about new ideas and pondering. Sometimes it is difficult to shut my mind off and shut down. But I

Sugar Fast Day 12 Do you love God’s Word? My favorite scripture verse is about hiding God’s Word in my heart (Psalm 119:11). As I mentioned yesterday, I am on a journey away from sugar and towards creativity. Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm in the Bible—176 verses all about the psalmist’s LOVE for God’s
