Magic Pills and Healthy TMI living

Timing includes waiting, but even in waiting there can be action. Action of the heart, mind, and of the body.

I simply can't sustain a constant state of complete awareness, for my self-analyzing morphs into an overwhelming state of confusion, a pile a wasted worry dust I had mistaken for magical pills of happiness from the fairies. How our fantastical thinking runs in and out of our practical realities. Weight, health, nutrition, self-perception, self-worth, and our value are intrinsically based in science and faith, yet we tend to view all of it as a kind of mysticism. How can we figure this out?

There is no magic pill available to fix the problems our days lay before us, or to fix the bad habits that we have formed. Within complex self-hatred and self-serving egotistical existences, people long to truly love and be loved. People honor the sacrifices of others, yet complain when reality offers a way to become sacrificial. In sacrifice hearts free other hearts to love.

Today, my headache left! Overall I am feeling more energized from treating my entire being with respect. I am still experiencing the reality of a TMI smelly situation of my body plopping toxic waste out of my waist. Although there is a hilarity to the situation as even the dogs run from my stench right now. I can only laugh (a little 12 year old boy bathroom humor never hurt anyone)! My body adapts to a newer thinking from my mind to my gut: I am going to be healthy.

I have not started the exercise yet, because the program says to wait until the 5th day or so to give the body time to gain energy from the good nutrients. I hope for strength and beauty from the inside to the outside of my body. Prioritizing one aspect over another is living in a fantasy world. God cares deeply about our whole self and will help us along the way to change toward wholeness in health.

I am dealing with reality today, dreaming about tomorrow, and enjoying fantasy for entertainment, not for living.

I think I am on the right track. I hope you are too.

A Good Life requires Forgiveness

"Don't let evil defeat you, but defeat evil with good." Romans 12: 21  This scripture is the conclusion of a challenging guideline on our response to mistreatment. Included is a command to not take revenge, a call to bless those whom you would rather curse, and a mission to live at peace with all to the best of your ability through sincerity of love. This passage begins with a call to transform your mind by constant renewing of God's perspective. The reason may be that God cares that evil does not claim your soul or defeat you. I feel God also cares about your life of goodness in relation to others.  God gives the motivation for change not in the form of guilt or rule following. Rather, we are to be prompted to transform because of the reassurance of God's justice, the promise of genuine relationships with others, and the blessing of a life characterized by goodness, sincerity, and love. A goodness so strong it defeats evil. The hardest change is for...

Joy vs Negativity: From my journal

I have a private journal that I usually do not share with anyone. This entry keeps coming back to my mind. It was entered after a rather intense emotional prayer with God where I was wondering why joy is so much harder to cultivate than negativity. Here is the unchanged journal entry: Joy is contagious and negativity is viral. To our fleshly nature, negativity properly reflects the innate fallenness and brokenness of life without God. Joy, however, requires a redefining of nature. It demands a choice to rely on the redemptive work of Christ on calvary. True joy only exists during the acknowledgment of God's adoption of you into His family. Joy is realizing God chooses to see your value through the lens of Christ's sacrifice as whole, redeemed, pure, unblemished, and beautiful. As a child of God, a coheir with Christ, a temple in which God himself dwells, we are whole.  Joy forevermore as I am yours.  I am going to be defined as His child. You can as well if you ...

Politics: Choose LOVE over HATE....Oh PLEASE!

Choose love over hate. I have been very disturbed by the political climate in America. I feel that the moderate views are being sidelined. If I don't identify pro or against a certain policy, I am deemed as being a coward, ignorant or hateful. Those forcing anyone to a choice politically and demand a support to a particular party or political idea are ostracizing others. People forcing others into political boxes seem to be choosing a fearful response versus a thoughtful one, or if the person cares more about affiliation versus the implication of policy and its ramifications, those individuals seem to argue in a hateful manner. If people are more important than policies, then treat all people with respect when giving your opinion. I am proud of my faith, but not all of the members of it. I can maintain my faith in determining my convictions about the role of government in providing equal tax benefits, freedoms, and safety and security. I can maintain a different set of ...
