I Tried

Well, after watching a little tv and in the middle of fixing a few arrows, i tried doing my push-up/sit-up/leg lift routine tonight. I got 2/3 done and had to come in on emergency (i am currently waiting for a test to run and seeing what i can get done until it finishes). So i didn't get to finish that tonight, but at least i did some, it has been a while since i did anything but run. it's amazing how i have been doing this running and not losing ANY weight. usually when i start working out the weight drops pretty steadily (2-3 lbs a week every week). however, i have not dropped a pound all summer. it was funny that i lost about 15lbs during turkey season when i wasn't exercising as much as i am now, then after the season i put 7lbs back on and can't lose any now. maybe some of that has to do with diet, but i am not eating that bad (most of the time). crazy.

oh, the test is negative.

back to blogging.

i am going to pick on a "prayer" that may be one that some of you like, have hanging in your house, etc. so, please excuse me if i step on some toes, it is just me being over critical, probably. the serenity prayer ends by basically asking God to help you know the difference between the things you can and can't change. however, Philippians 4.13 says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"(emphasis mine). so, if you can do all things how can you ask God to tell you the things you cannot do? maybe some people think there are things they can't do because they do not trust God enough, or they expect Him to work on their time schedule. maybe you have to look deeper to see the inner meaning of this prayer. maybe what it is really asking is for God to show you that there is nothing you can't do. whatever, Philippians is out of the Bible, i do not think the serenity prayer is, so i will stick with Philippians (that makes me feel better anyway). just think, there is nothing you want to do that you can't do when your strength is from Christ. now, if you argue with that, email me, it will take a little time explaining.
