Mick’s up Winter

What do you do for exercise in the winter?  If you live in a warm climate, you might find it easier to be active outdoors than those who live in the tundra.  Then again, those in the freezing cold are most likely there because they like it, and they find activities that allow them to enjoy their environment.

Have fun this winter!
If you have kidderz or grandkidderz, you can go outside and have fun digging snow caves and tunnels or building snow forts, and have a snowball fight… or how about some sledding!  That climb back up to the top is exercise for sure!  Oh… cross-country skiing… is one of my favorites.

How about a wog around the neighborhood?  Yes, I said, “wog.”  That is what my husband called my walk/jog exercise regimen that got me from a walk to a run.  It’s really fun!  I found a coaching schedule at Nike Running.  All you do is walk for a bit, then jog for a bit, and repeat it several times.  You could even do it in an interval training style.  Start out at a walk, then burst into a run for 20 seconds, and go back to a walk.  Repeat it as necessary.  That is so much fun, I want to go do it now!

Whatever you choose, remember this season’s To Do List, and exercise a day or two more each week of this Christmastide.  You want to stay healthy, right?

God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways;
he does great things beyond our understanding.
He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’

Mick's Pride and Humility… and…

2010-11-06 Luray Caverns 2010 071What do you get? 

When you swallow your pride, and then allow yourself to be humbled, what happens?  Well, I'm hoping, when I mix it all up, I get growth, including wisdom, peace, direction, and obedience to my God.  That's where I'm at these days.  Each day seems to add another twist of confusion.  You've been there.  I know I'm not the only one.

However, my God is not a God of chaos and confusion.  I'm holding on tightly to that.  Chuck Swindoll's Insight for Today on this Thursday is a real boost for me and my husband Jay.  It's just what we needed to hear this morning, in the midst of our struggles. 


God is amazing, isn't He?!  He takes such good care of us.  He knows just what we need to hear, each and every day. 

So, with that in mind, Jay and I are reminding ourselves constantly throughout the day to change the words that come out of our mouths.  No limiting beliefs.

Pride and humility are two very difficult things to swallow, and so that means growth is necessary to make it happen.  The growing pains are worth it!  Swallow hard!

Read 1 Kings 19:10-18 (NASB) to get an idea of the significance of the cave pictures.

Our theme song today:  Get Back Up (TobyMac)

"And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains
and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD;
but the LORD was not in the wind.
And after the wind an earthquake,
but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
After the earthquake a fire,
but the LORD was not in the fire;
and after the fire a sound of
a gentle blowing."
