Morning Coffee "Medium black coffee, please?" "Anything else, sir?" "Um ... no. ... oh wait ... yes. Would you add a bagel with cream cheese?" Okay, this is not exactly your power breakfast of champions. I'm trying to clean up my diet but it's hard when your body is tired. Needless to say, I certainly appreciated the coffee! Verse of the Day (Bible Gateway) For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. -- Hebrews 10:30-31 NIV This passage is a warning for Christians who continue in sin. God's kindness is to lead us to repentance (Romans 2:4), to a change in heart and life direction. The journey is certainly difficult, seemingly impossible at times. But our God is greater. This truth is both convicting and encouraging to me. Food! So since I'm mainly by myself these days, I have been eating out, b

Morning Coffee This morning I picked up at a Tall Blonde from Starbucks. Early mornings are tough but the coffee certainly helps! Verse of the Day (Bible Gateway) My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. -- 1 John 2:1 This verse brings me great assurance. While I try to live as God tells me, I still do battle against sin. When I fall, when I feel unworthy or inadequate, I have Jesus Christ, who stands in the gap, interceding for me. Fitness: Body On Monday, I had the opportunity to shadow a coach to see how things go down in the fitness world. Pretty cool I must say! I ended up working out with the group and helping coach, growing in confidence as time went on. The feedback I received was quite helpful. It's good that I'm friendly. One of the things to work on is being more vocal. I want to be the best I can be as a coach by helping others be the b

Morning Coffee Today's cup is from Tim Hortons since Starbucks opens a bit later. I did try making my own this morning, but it ended up being too bitter, even with some almond milk as a treat. I'm pretty tired this morning. Late nights and early mornings are a bit tough, but I'm loving it! Oh! And tomorrow will be my first dragonboat race of the year! I'm pretty excited and nervous. This also means an early morning, but it wil be fun to see old friends and teammates. Verse of the Day (Bible Gateway) Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. -- Joel 2:23 Yes, rejoice indeed! It is easy for me to get caught up with material pursuits, or just caught up with .... me. Yes, I know. I'm selfish that way. But I'm working on it. God is working on it -- on me, that is. Fitness: Body I did not get to workout yeste

Morning coffee I am at my desk about to head onsite for work. I am slowly waking up thanks to the goodness of God and the Grande Blonde from Starbucks. I have not been blogging for a while. Here's to an effort to start blogging again :) Verse of the Day (Bible Gateway) 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 Fitness: Body I miss CrossFit. It's been several months since I have been doing CrossFit regularly. I feel my body getting older -- ha! But it's been good too. This time away has allowed me to start saving bit by bit. My "financial fitness" definitely needs work! Last night, I dropped in to a church where they do CrossFit workouts Wednesday nights. I had one purpose: PR on my clean (225#). This has long been an elusive weight for me (mainly mental). After several attempts over the past several months
