Psalm 138:7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
It was war! Greg looked at the bag of cookies on the table in front of him, and they almost made him cry. Why couldn't he just ignore them? It was as if they had some kind of magical spell over him.Closing his eyes didn't help. Neither did putting them in the cabinet; he still knew they were there. He was determined to resist their pull, but was he really strong enough? When the temptations get to be too much, we need to call on the Lord. In the midst of our stiffest challenges, He will truly save us.

Low-Fat Basil Pizza
1 can (10 oz.) refrigerated pizza crust dough
1/3 c tomato paste
1/2 tsp dried oregano
2 tbs drained capers
1 c shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 to 3/4 c slivered fresh basil leaves
1/2 tsp hot chili flakes
Unfold dough. In a lightly oiled 12 to 14 inch pizza pan or baking sheet, pat dough into a 12inch-wide round with a slightly thicker 1/2 inch-wide rim.
Bake crust on lowest rack in a 425*F oven until lightly browned on the bottom, 6 to 8 minutes (5 to 6 minutes in a convection oven). In a bowl, combine tomato paste, 2 tablespoons water, and oregano. Spread tomato mixture over crust, but not rim. Sprinkle with capers. Drop shredded mozzarella cheese in clusters onto tomato mixture, then sprinkle with Parmesan.
Return pizza to lowest oven rack and bake until mozzarella softens, about 3 minutes. Scatter basil leaves and chili flakes over pizza.
