What I Believe
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Not to give God our spirit(ual worship) is a great sin.  It is a mockery of God, not worship, contempt, not adoration, whatever our outward fervency or protestations may be.  Every alienation of our hearts from Him is a real scorn put upon Him.  The acts of the soul are real, and more the acts of the man than the acts of the body; because they are the acts of the choicest part of man, and of that which is the first spring of all bodily motions; it is the internal speech whereby we must speak to God.  To give Him, therefore, only an external form of worship without the life of it, is taking His name in vain.
Stephen Charnock, The Attributes of God, pg.263

Brown Plate Special: Weeks Nine and Ten

brown%20plate%20special.jpgIs it Monday already?

Last week, I was just coming home from the hospital, so I didn't post up a progress report.  Believe it or not, I gained three pounds while I was languishing in the hospital.  I didn't over eat, I didn't snack, I didn't eat bread or dessert, but I didn't get enough exercise while I was there.

This week, I have managed to lose two of the three pounds, even though I developed a small pseudo-aneurism after I got home and had to go back to the hospital for an ultrasound.  Until that is healed, I am not to exercise and have to apply ice and stay off it as much as possible.  That situation has improved a great deal, but I still can't exercise.  Bah. 

The moral of the story:  Rabbit had it half right when he told Pooh, "It all comes from eating too much." 

“A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.”

OOops!  Almost forgot my stats:
 

Two week's weight gain--1 pound. 

Total weight loss--6.0 pounds.

Girlfriend, a big amen to the Pooh cartoon! I'm not even stepping on the scale this morning. The fact that it's wedged between the toilet and the wall makes me in my present condition not agile enough to get to it. How's that for an excuse. I'll post next Monday...
I'm sure I've put on a few like you and it's great that you took some off since. Well done...

How slow and tedious it is to get a pound off, and how easily 3 come back in its place! I do hope you recover quickly!

That doesn't seem fair, does it? By the way, I am feeling much better now!

Just got the feeling you weren't back up to speed yet.

Take care,

Prayers....

Ohh...so sorry you're been held back a bit. Well, I hope the pseudo-aneurism (whatever that is!) goes away forever and never comes back.
