Originally posted by RBHILLIn my time of rehabilitation, I could not ask for a more appropriate set of lessons than on Obedience, Fellowship, and Temptation. Weeks 11 through 13 will be a blessing to me, giving me a boost in the right direction and a solid foundation to cling to should my resolve start to waver.
