Gotta Do It!

I went to the doctor today and was told, "Excercise, exercise, exercise!"  (Help!)   An operation is in the future, but, if I can strengthen the muscles in my abdomen and back, I might be able to keep the doctor's knife out of the picture for awhile longer.   So, today I went to the pool and then stayed for the exercise class.  That was fun!  Tiring, but fun!  The instructor played classic rock, which was the dance music of the late sixties and early seventies.    Its amazing how light one feels in the pool.  I felt like a feather and could dance while in the water.  Afterwards, as I walked up the steps out of the pool, I felt like the weight of the world was upon me.  Its amazing how God created this world!

The rain began this afternoon.  This is a perfect day to now make some scones.  It was a great Easter weekend.  The rest of this day is going to be to relax.  Tomorrow...and every day....more exercises...and so on, for the rest of my life.  There must be a fun way to exercise, I can only go to the pool once or twice a week.  I can't complain though, there are so many people hurting and so many disabled!   I am sure they would burst into tears of happiness,  if they could just do some sit-ups to overcome their burden.   God help us all.

The "Since I Quit Drinking" Song

The  song "Since I Quit Drinking" by Toby Keith is found on youtube sung by an unknown.   He has the same "cheesey" smile my grandkids have, when they flash you that special smile!

When Toby Keith's song first came out in the 1990's, I played it over and over, driving everyone nuts.  I got Timmy to dance a song with me, but the rest of the dances were with my little Sarah.  It was fun and she loved it too!

This one sounds like the real soundtrack, cute pics, but the sound is not very clear. (REMOVED)

I had to remove the link of the youtube video that played Toby Keith singing the song in the video.   Comments from commentors glared on the screen as they used indecent remarks.

Life is fun -- through the hard times and the good times!  Lord keep us and guide us all.

Our Unchanging God

I watched a documentary yesterday on Green Planet channel.   This channel has carried quite a few documentaries these last few days on the scientific and archaeological evidence that proves Biblical events, which they investigated, did indeed happen. 

What a wonderful God we have.  As He opened the door for the Israelites in the Exodus, so does the Lord open doors for us in our lives today.  I think a lot of people believe that God should be a magician and pull magic feats out of the air.  The God that created this air and this world, does not need to do that to impress us--He IS God!  He uses His creation by opening doors for us, and, as a good chess player knows his moves before the plays are even on the board, so does our God know our needs before they happen.  What kind of love is this??  That an Almighty GOD, Lord of all Creation, can love us so! 

The other night there was a documentary on Jesus.  I question their interpretations when they put their own reasons on the actions of Jesus, Mary and the disciples.   We need to just look at the facts, and know that God has already brought to us the Truth of the events, through the Bible.

Malachi 3

(The Coming Messenger)
1 “Behold, I send My messenger,
And he will prepare the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek,
Will suddenly come to His temple,
Even the Messenger of the covenant,
In whom you delight.
Behold, He is coming,”
Says the LORD of hosts.


2 “ But who can endure the day of His coming?
And who can stand when He appears?
For He is like a refiner’s fire
And like launderers’ soap.
3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver;
He will purify the sons of Levi,
And purge them as gold and silver,
That they may offer to the LORD
An offering in righteousness.
4 “ Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem
Will be pleasant to the LORD,
As in the days of old,
As in former years.
5 And I will come near you for judgment;
I will be a swift witness
Against sorcerers,
Against adulterers,
Against perjurers,
Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans,
And against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,”
Says the LORD of hosts.
6 “ For I am the LORD, I do not change;..."
The documentaries remind me of something I heard preached.  That in the end of times people will see the "end of times" coming but will blame it on something else....such as global warming, or whatever.   These documentaries, too, seem to lay the happenings of selected stories of the Bible as being of scientific origin and with earthly cause, and not by the Hand of God.  Let us not turn to such hemming and hawing over whether we are real and if there is a God--- He is coming!   The Bible foretells us of the events leading up to His return.  Be ready!
