It's time! It works!

My Slimming World community says "that it doesn't matter so much about what you do between Christmas and New Year's but it does matter what you eat between New Year and Christmas!"

This space between Christmas and New Year is a great time to binge on Christmas goodies. It's also a great time to take stock, think about the possibility of holidays and also generally tidy up all those wee loose-ends before getting back to the daily grind.

My friend DC is championing the discipline of weight-loss, having lost well over 5 stones in a four month period.

I started at the end of September and feel so much better with just one stone off. It works!

Maybe this new year will be your time to achieve some new goal.

Weither you choose 'food optimising' used by Slimming World ...or some other tried and tested regime.. may your new year be prosperous and light.

Or in the words of Captain Spock may you "live long and prosper"!

Here I have a photo that I cherish. It was taken at my son Jonathan's wedding. I have used the photo as my mobile's wallpaper to remind me of the joy my sweet sister brought to my life. She was my big sister who sadly passed away aged 69. Her name was Ann. She was a great gift giver. I was on the receiving side, recalling how she made my sixth party special with many balloons fit for the occasion. She also gave me a leather bound ESV Bible which was a bit special. Ann suffered ill health the last few years of her life but was never one to grumble or complain. Ann was a women of great faith, always seeing the best in others, even through her health challenges. I recall my 7 minute eulogy, referring to the dash measuring the years between her birthdate and death date 1952-2021. Ann frequently wrote me letters, with all that was happening at home, while I studied at Portland Bible College in the US 1976-1979. They say that "doubt looks back,worry looks around, but

  Passages :   The people walking in  darkness  have seen a great  light ; on those living in the land of deep  darkness  a  light  has dawned (Isaiah 9:2) I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the  darkness  into  light  before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them (Isaiah 42:16) When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the  light  of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the  light  of  life . ’ (John 8:12) I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness (John 12:46) … in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God …For God, who said, “ Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the
