My Weight Loss Adventure

Am I the only one who feels like the term "weight loss journey" is overused? It's probably a decent enough description for the kind of path that it takes to get in shape once you've gained a lot of weight, but it's become such a cliche. "My journey is only beginning" say the Biggest Loser contestants, or "at this point in my journey, I'm learning . . ." I wish we had better language for this kind of long-term purpose-driven goal.

These are my notes from last week's study, and I hope to catch up by the end of the week on this week's scriptures. Plot to Kill Jesus, Matthew 26:1-5, Mark 14:1-2, Luke 22:1-2 The desire to wait until after the feast is interesting. In the Student Manual , it points out that, " They knew that many people admired Jesus Christ, and they were concerned that if they tried to take Jesus when there were so many pilgrims in Jerusalem for the holidays, there would be riots. " I wonder if they would have waited to take Jesus if it were not for Judas and the easy opportunity he represented to take Christ in the night?
