Learning To Resist
by Curt Dodd on December 2nd, 2024
Do not love the world or anything in the world. – 1 John 2:15I’ve been on many diets over the years. You don’t get a wonderful figure like mine without some effort. (Of course, that’s tongue in cheek.)I have done the Keto, the Mediterranean, the Scarsdale, and the Weight Watchers diets. You name it, and I’ve done it. I have tried all of those diets over the years to keep the fat off my innermost p... Read More
