Day 337: Revelation!

Feeling rather accomplished!

I finished reading the book of Revelation this morning. I set a goal to read the entire bible from Genesis to Revelation about a year and a half ago. My original plan was to it in a year. I read from the NOV version ("New International Version).

Wow, it feels good to achieve a goal. I am now going to start again in Genesis, this time reading from the King James Bible. I really love the language- all those thees, thines and thous!

Now if I could only accomplish my weight loss goal!

I am doing much better with my mornings. My trick? I resist the urge to lie in bed with my Kindle, watching Doc Martin episodes, scanning Facebook or looking up recipes. I just turn off the lights t, say a prayer and go to sleep. Wow! What a concept! And what a difference it has made. Yes, I still hit the snooze button, but I am not as groggy. And I am nit as sore in the morning.

I am also continuing to take a multiple vitamin, magnesium and copious amounts of water.

I do need to step up my workouts. I go to the gym about 4 days a week and walk everyday. But I need to increase the intensity and duration. But I am pleased. I am coming up on one year of blogging about my physical, emotional and spiritual growth. I have stuck with something for nearly a year! This is huge!

I have decided to continue daily blogging after the first year. It keeps me a accountable, if only to myself.

I am still pondering psalm 28, but now I shall shareth the King James version with thee!


28 Unto thee will I cry, O Lord my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent [1] to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 2  Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. 3  Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. 4  Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 5  Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
6  Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 7  The Lordis my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 8  The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 9  Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed [2] them also, and lift them up for ever.

Happy Monday!

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...
