Fit Friday
I exercised 3 days (but not very long) I did well with calories, but the carb thing was pretty bad. I don’t know how the weight went, but I weigh every other day and I’ve been holding very steady. This … Continue reading
I do not know why…
or maybe I do. I feel so darned pleased with myself every time I remember “recycling day”. The bins are out on the curb and ready to go tomorrow morning! (and the garbage also, but that’s every Thursday and easier … Continue reading
I need a new mouse
At first I thought the optical eye needed cleaning or something. Now I think the “clicker” went bad – it doesn’t “grab” text. That will annoy me later one. For now I can happily use the pad on my laptop … Continue reading
Quote from Issues Etc.
The most important event in your life…didn’t take place in your life.
Women Just Don’t Get It
Thomas is on vacation and the fill-in massage therapist is a woman. I’ve heard from other people that women just don’t “get” therapeutic massage and maybe they’re right. It sometimes hurts during my massage, but that’s because it’s really getting … Continue reading

Song for the Day…Dolly Parton
Came up on my shuffle I want to somebody’s everything… I refuse to settle for something less than great. And if it takes a lifetime, then that’s how long I’ll wait. ‘Cause all I want is everything, is that too … Continue reading
Ember Days
If I were to move denominations, it would be nice if I could find one (other than LCMS) that was more liturgical. I like the idea of following the church calendar. Today I listened to a podcast that talked about … Continue reading
Holidays are not a good low-carb time
But I maintained my weight, even with kolachki, wedding cake cookies, sugar cookies, etc. and even lost a pound. Today, it’s back to the lower carb thing. I had sharp cheddar for breakfast and will have a whole milk latte … Continue reading
Christmas Day
Listening the Tim Keller on “The Reason for God” Each Christmas I remember very clearly at a former church, sitting in the balcony during a quiet moment alone. There was a stained glass cross in the front and a giant … Continue reading

Cancer
I’m listening to a Village Church podcast from November…two weeks before Matt Chandler announced his tumor. He mentions cancer several times throughout the sermon; the world thinks that if we disobey the law, God will send us cancer and he … Continue reading

Pondering Closed Communion
As I listened to Issues Etc. on closed communion, I heard the message come through loud and clear…we must be in lockstep on the smallest of doctrines, or you are a false teacher. The speaker also added that the reason … Continue reading
Today I’m going to finish…
I’m going to start my Christmas shopping I’ve given a bunch of stuff already, and today I shop for the kids. One of them knows she’s getting an iPod (and gift card) but Tom I’m keeping a secret.
He Had No Rights…Mabel Williamson
Had No Rights He had no rights No right to a soft bed, and a well-laid table. No right to a home of His own, a place where His own pleasure might be sought. No right to choose pleasant, congenial … Continue reading
Livin La Vida Low Carb Show
Listening to the podcast. An old podcast that features Dr. Duane Graveline (ex-astronaut) talking about the dangers of statin drugs. And my doctor wanted me on them. They inhibit melonimic pathways (I need to check that spelling) I’m taking supplements … Continue reading
