Want to stick to your disciplines, whatever they are? Set up bright boundaries your mind cannot miss. "Nothing to eat after 8pm and one cheat meal a week," is a bright boundary. Every Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday the iPad seconds timer app is a bright boundary for me. There's no missing the red screen and the reps in … Continue reading Preparation…

God is constantly teaching us to trust Him. The Israelites, way back in the day, were given daily provision of manna. Every day for a freakin' long, wandering time, manna fell from heaven.

For me, weeks like this are a great reminder of my most sacred and never fully comprehended sense of identity. I believe we are all children of a loving God. … Continue reading Whose > who…

Acute. This is what it looks like seconds after the acute pain is over. Joy. Satisfied. Less soft. You are only as strong as the five alongside your sorriness. We’re missing jmo (67) and downer (64). Peej (49), Slo (67), Littlest (68), Blondie (64), me (66). Who is around your sorriness today? Protect who you … Continue reading Acute…

Pain is inevitable, misery is a choice. Wrote those words decades ago. Been trying to live them ever since. Simple, not easy. Two types of pain, broadly speaking - chronic and acute. Very little time on earth is spent in acute pain. Chronic? All day. Everyday. Low back pain is chronic. Doing stupid hard core … Continue reading Pain…
