A lady I met at a Bible study\u00a0tonight\u00a0was talking about Sukkot.<\/p>\n

Literally,\u00a0“The Feast of Booths,” or “The Feast of Tabernacles,” Sukkot is a week-long celebration when many people will build a temporary dwelling outside and take time to eat meals there or even sleep overnight in the structure.<\/p>\n

Sukkot is a time ordained by the Creator for his people to remember their times of scarcity (wandering in the wilderness) and how God provided (and provides) for them miraculously.<\/p>\n

I was reminded of how we have “tabernacles” we live in daily, though they’re better known as “our bodies.”<\/p>\n

There have been many times when I’ve damaged my tabernacle\/body. Times when I’ve failed to protect it and honor it. I’m not heading into “poor me” here, but facts are facts.<\/p>\n

I can even remember living in an upstairs apartment while attending college. I was smoking tobacco, standing at an open window to blow the smoke outside so I wouldn’t stink up my little home.<\/p>\n

Then, the absurdity hit me: there I was, blowing smoke out of my apartment… but taking it into my body! How stupid!<\/p>\n

Here’s a painting I found that reminds me of how our bodies are our tabernacles — and how we all live together, but separately. Each is responsible for tending his\u00a0own fire.<\/p>\n

Reboot Logbook Day #21<\/h2>\n

Body – 3<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>I followed the diet I’ve set for this week, and I exercised a bit. I’m not starving anymore!<\/p>\n

Mind – 3<\/strong>: I studied and listened and learned. I apologized for my errors, and I sought to be kind to those I met. I didn’t pull that off perfectly, but it was my intention.<\/p>\n

Spirit – 2<\/strong>: I began the day with The DEEP, but didn’t refer back often and invested very little time in prayer and meditation.<\/p>\n

All told, a reasonably successful day. I’m still walking in the direction I’ve chosen. YES!<\/p>\n
