after that, registration is required.\u00a0 Please check it out and let me know what you think.\u00a0 Any feedback is welcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I know this is getting to be a lengthy post, but if you&#8217;re still with me I&#8217;ll give a quick resolution update:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bowling Blog &#8211; D, this is only the second week of 13 where I&#8217;ve posted any notes at all.\u00a0 My apologies.<\/li>\n<li>Devotional &#8211; B, I&#8217;m reading most of the passages most days, but do tend to rush through instead of taking the necessary time to reflect.\u00a0 This has still been my best year for doing a devotional, but better habits are still needed.<\/li>\n<li>Weight Loss &#8211;
