After that very strenuous (well for me) yoga class yesterday I decided to do light aerobics and weights today and now I feel better. I don't think resting muscles is a good thing to do unless you have a strain. Correct me if I am wrong. Not you couch potatoes who think resting is the best thing to always do for your muscles.
Get Faith
Colossians 1:21-23a This is about reconciling yourself to death. The writer talks about a man that lost his mother and can't come to grips with it. He tries desperately to find faith so he can believe that he will see his mother again and be together. This is where God comes in. We need the Holy Spirit to be with us and strengthen our faith, to remind us that our Father sent His Son to us so that we can be reconciled to death. Don't wait until the time is right - start reinforcing your faith by study and prayer now. God has done the rest.
On this day
1976 - I was 29 and this was the first time I was going to try skiing. There were ten of us, Pat & Pam, Bob & Alice, Molly & Gary, Mike & Michelle and Pete and I. They were all seasoned skiers except Pete and I. We had rented an 8 person chalet and went right to the pub when we got there. We had a good time at Boyne!
1673 - The first recorded wine auction took place in London. I can't imagine the wine they were selling either very good or very bad, what do you think? I'm going to a wine tasting tonight - probably not the same.
Parenting
The Bible study strikes home with me after just losing my Mom two months ago. I miss her a lot. She lived here with me for over 12 years and then last year in the hospital, rehab, nursing and then an assisted living place that she loved. I took good care of her and am glad I did. Not only am I am peace because I spent that time with her but because my faith is so strong that I trust entirely in God to care for her now. She is in better hands. Look after the people you love as God looks after you.
Nepal Kind of long but worth the read.

If any organization or a person intends to provide any kind of service (for example taking care of medicine and health check up, religious discourse etc.) he can provide by getting permission from the office chief.
Regarding the situation we, members of ULBA Youth Wing and United ULBA Free Clinic decided to offer some food and money to old people of Elderly's Home. We distributed two packets of Biscuits and NRs. 5/- each to whole 230 old people. It felt so good and peaceful to give something from your heart and we got many blessings from them, which were very precious to us. If given a chance to serve helpless people we will do more of these programmes.
