I haven't done well with the 30 day challenge. I was incredibly sore after the first week of workouts and I caught a cold so I used the sick excuse to eat badly and not workout. I have been working out on occasion but not to the extent that I need to. I am starting back on just not drinking tea or soda Thursday and I'm looking to start running for 30 minutes a day 5 days a week to get my endurance up. I will post more pictures after the beach in few weeks. I'm ready to graduate!
On a better note, I've been given such an awesome passion for fuse!!! I LOVE it!! I LOVE the Jump off! I LOVE my Church! Tonight Brad talked about living with an open mind, not on theology but on methodology. I know this argument well. I was raised with the two closed hands approach. There are many things that I appreciate about it but I got so accustomed to looking down on people that weren't just like me. That's not what Jesus was about! He welcomed everyone! I want to stand firm in those close handed issues but the open handed ones are between you and God. Some people don't respond well to certain kinds of music others thrive in it. Just like I believe there are several people that thrive in a structured environment such as Bob Jones University, others feel buried in the feeling of legalism. Find the best way for you to reach people and for you to worship and run with it! As long as the Bible doesn't speak against it, and you are not causing another brother to stumble, then go for it! For so long the church has been fighting the churches for people and competing with numbers when the only score that matters is the TOTAL! We are ALL on the same side! If ONE soul is saved the angels throw a party! We should too! It shouldn't matter if it is at our home church or a fellow church across the world we should ALL celebrate! I am tired of the arguing with churches about other churches! Don't fight among the churches let's fight for the lost and then we ALL win! If you want to hear Brad's message tonight you can find his podcast on iTunes under FUSE, tonight's should be up Friday! Have a great week guys! I'll write again soon!
