So yeah, I used to drink coffee every morning. It wasn’t much. It was one travel mug full. And it was only in the morning.
But… I found that if I _didn’t_ have it, I would have a headache by 10 AM. Everytime, without fail, I would get a headache if I didn’t have my coffee in the morning. I decided at some point that it would be a good idea to quit drinking it, but I didn’t want to have a headache for a week while I got over my addiction.
Well, my problem was solved for me. See, I got sick - so sick that coffee was the least appealing thing to me. And I was sick for long enough and on enough pain-killers that I didn’t even notice a simple headache from lack of caffeine.
Once I was off the painkillers, I realized that I was no longer getting headaches from *not* having coffee. I was no longer addicted! I decided then and there that I would not fall back into that situation again, so I almost never have coffee anymore.
No, I’m not against it. And yes, I’ll often have it on Saturday morning, and even sometimes at work, but it’s no longer something that I *need*. No longer something my body reacts to not having. I have overcome.
Just thought I’d share.
Well, it’s already getting toward the middle of May, so the events of the summer are pretty much upon me.
Softball just started at work, so that’s one night a week. As soon as June hits, it will be hard to find free time to do much of anything. Here’s the schedule:
June 6 - July 13 - The Parentos will be here.
June 10 - Wedding.
June 17 - Wedding (Andrew’s, in which I’m the best man).
June 24-26 - Taking the seniors in the youth group on a retreat.
July 1 - Wedding.
July 8 - Sailfest down in Groton.
July 2-10 - Shideler will be up visiting.
Plans every weekend. Though I’m sure it will be fun, it will also be nice to relax come mid-July.
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;
3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,
6 and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness,
7 and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.
8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
