I just can't say enough about cfc sermons, eh? This time, it's on temptations and lust, and I feel that this is a powerful summary and reminder of the lessons that I've learned throughout this year. Yes, I've been failing again recently on this front, but that doesn't have to continue forever. I need more faith and strength from the Lord, who is good.

The second service was kind of bizarre... Later went out for "light" but expensive lunch...couldn't each much of the oily and cheap stuff when the body is still feeling queasy. Sleep in the afternoon... And hence, delaying the project until the very last minute...again. Here I am in the office trying desperately to find shortcuts to writing up the project, so late at night. But at least I know this is better than working at home, where there are so many distractions around. I'll be going home after one more block of work, though...it's too late and I'm already sleepy... Sigh...why do I keep on doing this?

I'm grateful to God for...

• preparing me all year long for the cfc sermon today, and reminding me that He is still with me, and wants me to be holy;
• reducing my physical pain again;
• keeping me going in working for the project;
• relieving sexual tensions in sleep this morning, and giving me more resistance to temptations today;
• shifting my focus towards the good things whenever bad, hateful, and guilty thoughts come into my mind.
