Final Events


I don't normally do this but I have to promote this DVD which someone gave to me to watch. I got this DVD and it was so easy to understand and it was all Biblical. I watched it and was intrigued by it, the graphics held my attention and the lent of about 40 mins was easy for me to spare. I had to share it with my friends and family and I hope that you will like it too. I really hope that you guys will get to see it and I am sure you will agree with me.

Rest + Exercise?!


My mind and body seem to be at odds. The balance that usually keep me level is out of sync I guess, the reason is myself or my mind. Rest is important, God was smart enough to know this before all this and He created the Sabbath which literally means rest. I need to give myself more rest - also what I realize is that without exercise I can't rest properly. I use to play football (soccer) and I was pretty fit and full of energy but since I left college I haven't done any of those things again and now my body is showing signs that exercise is needed again. My mind is sharper and my spirit is much more lifted when I have a good exercise regime that I stick with. I tend not to be so depressed and easily fatigued. I have to exercise my mind and I have been doing that by reading, working and reading my Bible more now than ever, but I seem to forget about the body which duly needs its exercise to syncronize with the mind - strong mind and weak body can work for a while but a strong mind and body always works. I have to push myself with everything I got to start exercising again - it is much easier said than done. I'm not over weight - I weigh less than 145 lb - but my muscles are lazy and unused and thus I need to revive them so that I can feel and perform much better. Working at a desk does this to you - you work long and by the time you get home you are mentally fatigued and you think your body is tired but it's really just your mind most of the times. I have two free weights who look at me every night and I always say next week I will start but I will give it a shot tonight. Wish me luck!

Temptation!?


Temptation is a tool that the devil never ceases to use to try and get us to follow him. The reality of the situation is that he cannot force you to do wrong but he just puts things in place and opportunity for us to do it and then wispers slightly in our cleaness ear - just do it! (Hey that's the NIKE add). Anyways, whenever I seem to be traveling on easy road just feeling strong and unchallenged, suddenly something is put in my way and I become confused and restless. I begin to hunger after that which is wrong and I am wrestling not anymore with the devil himself but with something more intimate and close - MYSELF. The trust and security once displayed in God in myself to follow God is shaken and questions arise. Am I strong, why did I have to have this curse of a weakness? The eyes wonder, the stomach hungers, the ear listens, the touch is sensual, the feelings are reacting to stimuli pumped into over drive by the brain's imaginations. I panic inside but no one knows but God, I realize that I am not strong and there is nothing inside of my human shell to overcome the temptation. I pray to God to take it away from me or hide me from it because I cannot overcome - the old man is scratching away at the surface and there is no stopping him except God Himself. The rise and fall of many men have resulted from temptations, from the rebirth of some old and devilish ways that was changed for the better by allowing God to enter. But for some reason the fight for good was lost and the old man resurfaced and destroyed the new man. The heart knows its wrong but the will is weak, I am constantly being bombarded by the devil in this low time - concentration is almost impossible while the fight rages inside me. I cannot comply and hurt the God I profess to love but it isn't over yet I will continue to pray.
