Scripture Memorization

I've memorized Bible verses and key passages off and on since I was a child. However over the course of this past year I had been more off that on. About a week ago David broke out a pack of 3x5 note cards and said he was going to start making a conscious effort to memorize God's word, and would I like to join him. I have joined him in this adventure, and I'm writing this note to invite you my friends and family members. "Would you like to join us?" Here are the ones I hid away this week and the ones I'm currently working on.

Isaiah 54:10, Psalm 27:1, Psalm 90:2, Deuteronomy 6:4-5

Hebrews 10:23-25, Philippians 2:1-11

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Phil.2:1-2

Daily I recieve request to join a group to fight, support or stand up for or against something. I guess I'm creating my own unoffical "group to join" "Hid God's word in your heart"Feel free to start with these verses or choose your own. If you decide to join this challenge send me a message back so that we can be an encouragement to one another.
Love,
Christy

What is it with SNOW and Mondays?

If my calculations are correct it has snowed three out of four Mondays this month. Don't we struggle enough on Mondays? Okay to be fair we have had some fantastic days, in the mid 60's.
Saturday was one of those Bbbeeeautiful days. I rode my bike, and worked in the yard and graden. David & I planted peas and onions in the garden. Marking my calender - March 21 started garden outside-peas & onions. We have broccoli, brussel spouts, leeks, and tomatoes started inside.

I haven't blogged in quite a while so I thought I get on and just write something.

Thursday & Friday I taught a Disaster Relief Chaplains class, had four students. We had great discussion, I really enjoyed it.

I'm tapped, drained, spent...nothing new,or out of the ordinary to say.

Waging War

I'm back on the front lines in the battle to loose weight and get in shape.
I rode my bike to work this morning 9.75 miles and burned over 500 calories!!!!!!
Wow it felt great! How is it that when I get lazy and don't exercise I'm OK with that lethargic feeling. How quickly I forget the empowered feeling of a good workout.

I'm thinking about writing a diet and exercise challenge. With daily disciplines to add to your existing lifestyle, weeding out the bad habits, and with daily scripture and devotional thoughts. This will be mainly for myself but I will share it on here and with others, hopeful as a source of encouragement to wage your own war were needed. Please know I am foot solider right along side you in this war, I never have been a high ranking officer nor never will be. My desire is to be obedient and follow the orders given to me.
