Tomorrow I complete 6 months since I determined to fight gluttony. I am thankful to God for how he has helped me fight my biggest sin. I have learned that it is not will power that helps us fight a bad habit. Will power is a depleting resource. What one needs is a good reason.…

Their schooling was minimal as they did not have much energy to concentrate while much play invited them. Eddie had to keep up with his Greek learning. In those early weeks, it took a lot from…
