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.
