Whether it’s chocolate cupcakes at Bible study, cookies at our weekly ladies’ coffee group, apple pie at a church gathering, cinnamon rolls that someone baked in my oven (just happened yesterday \ud83d\ude42 ), or walking through the grocery store surrounded by donuts and Oreos, temptations are everywhere.
