Goals
- Closer relationship with God- Corinthians 4 , I think the theme that stands out to me the most in this chapter is that we are no supposed to judge others. We do it , I do it. I have become much more aware of this as I have aged because we can never know the circumstances of the other. I will discuss this below.
- Get Fit- lower body day. Today was belt squats with plates 3 sets of 8 and then 3 sets of 8 with calf raises. I also did traditional squats as my knees have really improved, I used 25 pound weights on the 49 pound barbell, not alot but it’s a start. I did dead lifts with the hex bar and added 20 pounds to last lower body day, 3 sets of 8. Split squats with 10 lb kettle bells , 3 sets of 8 and knee raises with the monkey feet and 15 lb dumbell, 3 sets of 8.
- House organization- went through magazines and got rid of a pile
- Write- I did 20 minutes today
- Camper Reno- Checked the inside as it has been raining and the fans on the roof that we sealed are working good, no waited inside.
Philadelphia
I am sure many know that Philadelphia in Pennsylvania is know as the city of brotherly love. This concept is mentioned in the Bible. Philia (pronounced FILL-ee-uh) conveys a strong feeling of attraction, with its antonym or opposite being phobia. It is the most general form of love in the Bible, encompassing love for fellow humans, care, respect, and compassion for people in need. I decided to discuss this concept as I notice that people are more mean and rude. Possibly, the event of Covid as removed filters. I am not sure, but I notice it in the hospital that people are mean. I struggle with the concept in the Bible to love one another. It is easy to love those close to you but stranger? I struggle. Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
I know in this day this is a hard concept and if you knew me you would be kind of shocked that I am talking about this, but I am trying. I am not a mean person but one that was always more interested in my family and no one else. As I dig deeper into the Bible I see that loving one another is a huge concept for God. It is a hard thing to accept that we are basically here for each other. We were literally made to be here to help others. Look around at our current society, you can see that care for each other is missing. I feel being judgmental of others makes it easier to not like people. At one time I was pretty judgmental and I have really worked on not being this way. I want the Mercy of my Father so I must give mercy to others. It is not my job to judge that is God’s. Is this easy? No. but I work on it and it is baby steps. We show our love of God through our actions. We have to show Jesus through our actions. Baby steps.
