I’ve been trying to find a diet that controls my blood sugar. It can be hard, because you get these times when you really want that thing – you know – the thing you have that you shouldn’t eat. I find it hard to balance my carbs. If I reduce my carbs too much I end up snacking with worse carbs. I get this hunger for something.
I still have six of the eight bars of chocolate I brought back from Nicaragua. I can ration sweet stuff with no problem. My failing is with savoury stuff. Particularly hot food (I mean hot as in pepper).
Tonight we see pubs being closed in Scotland and more restrictions being put in place. People are finding it hard, they have been without entertainment and socialising for a long time and it is being pulled away from them.
I read this tonight
God—you’re my God! I can’t get enough of you! I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts.
Got me thinking. What am I hungry for? There are a lot of things I have not had for the past several months – am I hungry for any of them?
If we can understand what hunger people have then we can better understand the deserts we need to avoid. I have said from the start that the old grey men have not paid enough attention to the young single people that want to find partners. Is it any wonder they have been bending the rules?
I doubt Nicola will miss going to the pub. I doubt Boris will miss going to the cinema. That isn’t to say their decisions on the restrictions are wrong. I just think that maybe there are groups of people that we have not thought about in terms of their hunger.
