My Workout

    Today I started on my journey toward better health.  I am excited about it and anxious to get started.  As I worked out, I wondered how I got to this place. Was it depression or stress? I would say a little of both.  I began to get depressed about my job in the late 1990's. There was nothing I could do. Things were stressful and when I got married I just got lazy and gained about 30 pounds. I could blame this on Matt, because he likes sweets, but I don't have to eat what he brings home.  The station did a promotion on Calorad, I did lose inches and eventually weight with this and then I started walking. I got in better shape. As my mom got worse, I would get off from work and go to the hospital and stay til Sharon got off from work, I was too tired to exercise.  Later after she was gone my diabetes got worse and so for the past few years, I've been riding the rollercoaster of diabetes.

    My doctor feels that if the weight was gone that the high blood pressure and the diabetes would get better.  I agree. I wanted some motivation to keep going. Well, the weight management program will save money on the insurance premiums.  There is the motivation, plus I get tired of waking up feeling like a truck ran over me, because my blood sugars are too high.  My BMI is bad, even though she said that there are others who are worse.  We walked on the treadmill and a few machines. I felt good. A little tired and a little stretched, but good.

     In the 1990's I used to leave work and go and work out to relieve stress. The last time I did that was in 2007 and 2008. I got too busy working and life got in the way to work out,. I figured what's the use. The job was going bad, things at home were going bad. I would come home and sleep, until I decided to go back to school. People who have not lost a parent can really know what it is like and you can't always snap out of it. 

     I love sweating to the music and doing the machines. It makes me feel young again. Please pray for me that I will be able to continue...

Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row

     Sharon me gave this, I don't know if it is a poem or what. Everyone Can't Be In Your Front Row ( sometimes we just need to hear this ) Life is like a theater, so invite your audience carefully. Not everyone is holy or healthy enough to have a FRONT ROW seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. Its amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time draining, negative, incompatible not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships or even family. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention to which ones lean and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill or just staying still??? When you leave certain people do you feel better or worse?? Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift rthat lies within you? The mor...

Don't Argue Or Reason With The Devil

I was watching Jesse Duplantis last night and he was teaching on Jesus being tempted in the wilderness in Matthew chapter 4. I was reminded of something that I was working on. I have never preached this message anywhere, but on radio once and I don't know when it ran...  In Matthew 4 "Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness, after fasting forty days he was hungry, the temptor came to Jesus and said, If thou be the Son of God command these stones to be turned into bread.  Jesus  said it is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of  out of the mouth of God."  Satan doesn't give up, he comes at Jesus a second time and says, "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written He shall Give His angels charge over you.... Jesus said for the second time, "It is written again, thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God. Satan didn't give up he came at Jesus a third time, takin...

Class of 1975, I Graduated, Whats Next????

The class of 1975 made it through the Pomp and Circumstance” getting our high school diplomas. June 6, 1975 seems like so long ago, but at the same time it seems like it was only yesterday. SO many decisions that were made that would affect our lives forever. I don’t think that we should hold decisions made by an 18 or 19 year old accountable for the rest of their lives. I was 17 when I graduated from high school and I was a very sheltered 17 year old to say the least. I had never dated. I didn’t date until I was 21. It wasn’t a religious thing, it was more like my mind and my age finally caught up with each other. Some of our class would go to college, some would work and some went into the military. Some would do well in college, some would leave home and go wild, but would eventually settle down into a career, some would marry and divorce, others married later, some would have children and some didn’t. This will cover my first year after graduation, what I did. Some of this some ...
