One Bad Habit

Monday's Devotion

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Matthew 5:48

I wasn’t happy with my wife.

Our family had talked about observing Lent, and without a moment’s hesitation, both Lisa and my son, Graham, had it planned for me: “You need to give up Pepsi.”

What, they think I couldn’t do it?  What is Lent—forty-six days?  (We don’t observe Lent like the Roman Catholics, who get to imbibe on Sunday; our family goes for an “absolute” Lent, from Ash Wednesday all the way up to Easter morning.) I could handle six and a half weeks, no problem.
