I have observed that I have a self control gas tank. In the morning when I get up it is full and my ability to exercise self control is relatively easy. As I go through the day exercising self control over what I say to people, my use of time, the speed at which I work, taking my thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ, controlling my eating, exercising, my gas tank goes empty and then in the evening as I sit in my chair I eat to much, I have thoughts of irritation as I think back on the day, I bark at my wife, I stay up to late doing research on my iPad about how to get rich raising fish, and then in the morning I confess to God my poor use of time and bad attitudes and then that evening I do it all over again. Sheesh. I think if someone came along in the evening and tried to sell me a new fishing rod I would buy it even with the dozen or so that I already own! I am making a goal and commitment to all of you that I will be in bed no later than 11 pm. That is when the empty gas tank of self control really starts to show itself. Ask me how I am doing. It is now 11:09. I am going to bed. Love you all. Dee
