Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
James 5:16

(not Proverbs - but continue reading your daily Proverbs - the challenge is almost over!)

Taking a leave of absence.
Through August.

Prayers would be appreciated during this month,
as the family embarks on the 1st year anniversary of Steve's death.

Chock Full of Wisdom

Proverbs 15
WOW
What a wealth of wisdom and understanding. I can say I have experienced almost all these circumstances this week.

15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath
But a harsh word stirs up anger
The tongue of the wise uses
knowledge rightly,
But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.

15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit

15:13 A merry heart makes a cheerful
countenance
But by sorrow of the heart the spirit
is broken

15:14 The heart of him who has
understanding seeks knowledge
But the mouth of fools feed on
foolishness.

15:28 The heart of the righteous studies
how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours
forth evil.

Birthday

I have found a new companion.
As with Tom though (my traveling companion) I'm still not sure I like the idea or know what kind of company I really like to be with for a long period of time.
Working out outside has come with a price....a new companion. I now have company come by during my workouts. You might say "well that's nice" or "don't you like to have company". Sure everyone likes to have company and as for me I was born to be with company. I love it!
But the first day I thought "awe, this is nice" having company. Second day I was like....."what are you doing?" Third day.... "STOP tap tapping away at my tree!" Not sure I am in love with Woody.

Today is my Dad's Birthday. 7/13 is one of my favorite numbers. Call it superstitious but when you come across certain numbers or days you think "it's my lucky day" "it's my day" "good things are going to happen" WELL I hope that's the case today. I feel lucky!

Which goes to prove today's Proverbs has the lucky numbers.

Proverbs 13:7
There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing:
And one who makes himself poor yet has great riches.

Day 12

Proverbs 12

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but he who hates correction is stupid.

YES it did!!!

My life changed last night.

Curious?

I got my gym! I have been looking for a place to hold a teen program.
CrossFit has a National Non-Profit program
for at-risk teens and I have wanted to be apart of that.

NOW I can.

Pictures, info and the overly excited Joy will post more in days to come.

(seriously) I can't contain myself
This place was gift.

20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover
- Mark Twain

Today's the Day

that could change my life!!!
Big Day.
to be continued.....

CrossFit Tip:
Found this and tried it out yesterday. It seemed to work.
When doing cleans and the bar flies out in front of you or you're having a hardtime keeping it close to your body.
Change the angle of your wrist.



Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Ephesians 4:29

Proverbs Day 7

“The essential story of Proverbs 7 is staying away from unpure situations but the story can be extended to other situations as well. If we put ourselves in situations where we may be tempted to sin, then we are foolish.”

Love

Family love has to be the best!
The bond.
The wholeness. The oneness.
It has to be the most comforting feeling
to hold in your arms the ones you love.

It's a treasure.

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

James 1:13 (King James Version)

Proverbs Day 5

"...drink water from your own cistern...
Let them be only your own...
Let your fountain be blessed,...
and rejoice with the wife of your youth...
And always be enraptured with her love"

My strength is getting better!
Being my own trainer has proven to be very rewarding. I learn more and more while going through all of the basic movements over and over again. You can feel it, you know how to describe it, you can teach it better, understanding how it should be. Looking at my videos over and over again helps not only my own training but as a trainer "seeing" the errors or parts that need improvement has become much clearer.

Starting back coaching at ACF has also been very rewarding! I love the interaction with people who want to learn, get in shape and have fun. Tonight was no different. Although the night was extremely quiet we still had a handful to watch, coach and encourage to do the best they could.
This is what I want to do!......... ALL the time.




Deadlift - 210 x 1 x 5

Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
and the man who gains understanding;
For her proceeds are better
than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire
cannot compare with her.
Length of days is in her right hand,
in her left hand riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness
And all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her.
And happy are all who retain her.

On my way to LI for he weekend!

"...When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge

is pleasant unto thy soul;
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee..."

Begin Today!

Begin expanding your
knowledge and wisdom today!
July 1, 2010

Did you know the
Book of Proverbs is a book of "knowledge" and "wisdom".
You will be surprised at what you can take away from
reading one chapter a day
(less than 2mins of reading or listening to a download a day)
for the month of July.
Make it a commitment.
Walk away inspired.
Walk away with a deeper sense of inner being.

Walk away with more knowledge and wisdom.

(I guarantee you will not only be inspired but be left
with your mind "thinking")

Try it!
