Fried temptation
I am posting this entry early in the hopes that it will keep me accountable to each regular reader of Stump the Pastor.On Tuesday mornings, I take a class on Church Planting (how to establish new churches in growing communities). The class ends around noon. On my drive back to Plymouth, I am forced to pass Krispy Kreme Donuts.
As you can imagine, their original glazed calls out my name as I try to keep my eyes focused on the highway. Usually, I give in to temptation, eat too many donuts, wash them down with a specialty coffee, then continue my drive - burdened with guilt.
Today will be different. With your help, I will forsake this wicked craving.
Will Pastor John succeed or will he give in to his desire for glazed gluttony? Stop by later tonight for an update where Pastor John will be forced to place his hand on the Bible and answer this question, "Pastor John....did you resist temptation and choose not to eat at Krispy Kreme today?"
Update 10:41pm
"Pastor John....did you resist temptation and choose not to eat at Krispy Kreme today?"
"I am happy to say that yes, I did resist temptation and forsook the donuts that once sought to enslave me. Freedom tastes better than glaze."

Good Morning,
Maybe this will help you curb your cravings for Krispy Kremes. It's certainly helped mine. Now, my husband and I are BOTH no longer giving them our business.

I think you can do it. I don't think you will stop bc you put it on here and you're not going to want to admit that you did. So therefore you won't eat one.. lol
So can I join this bet of losing 20 lbs?.. SInce I'm starting to aquire my own "chunk" (I get made fun of by roomates) and no one has won this bet yet.... I think a gift card for B&N is good insentive... Or do u not want to lose?
I just wanted to let you know that it was DIVERSITY DAY! in my Psychology class today.!! This made me laugh so hard and perhaps it will make you chuckle a little. *SARA
WHAT! Krispy Kreme's wicked??? I'm pretty sure that manna was actually warm, glazed Krispy Kreme donuts falling from the sky. The Isrealites just became discontented with it, because they didn't have any coffee to go with them. Or maybe not. I was just searching the web for something for my Sunday School class and encountered your website. I sympathize with your struggle with that particular pastry. I'm hoping that in heaven that chocolate and donuts will both be in the fat part of the food pyramid at the bottom-- not that awfully tiny part at the top!
