Whoops, I forgot to start the thread before hitting the sack last night. Really, anyone is welcome to start it, though, so jump on in if you log on in the morning and don't see a daily thread started yet. :)
Here's the http://davesgarden.com/journal/si/7441.html to today's devotions for dieters.The reading today does a great job of explaining why this thread is so important, why our fellowship is a good thing: We need each other! There is strength in numbers. We know God is always with us, but often He seems distant when we're struggling.
Having this fellowship with one another gives us a chance to be God's hands and God's voice, encouraging each other in tangible ways. We might not be able to sit down and have coffee face-to-face and offer "real" hugs, but just your presence here does something wonderful. And your encouraging words make a difference.
I appreciate the encouragement you give, and I hope I encourage you when you need it, too. :)
