Romans 7:14-25 (NIV)
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Physical Exam
Posted 1st June 2008 at 03:54 PM by JAS4Yeshua
On Friday after work, I had my physical. To be honest, I wasn't quite looking forward to it, but I wasn't worried about it either. It is just one of those things that has to be done.
Blood work came back. My thyroid (which was healed from being overactive in 2001) is still normal. My blood sugar was fine. My cholesterol, for the most part, was good, except that my "good cholesterol" was low. My urinalysis was normal. The only real problem area was my blood pressure was slightly high still, so I need to start blood pressure medication. Of course, he also stated that I needed to find a way exercise more. At least 20 minutes three times a week. He said that will help my blood pressure, cholesterol, and, of course, help me to lose the extra weight I've put on. Not easy when I spend 10-12 hours away from home five days a week.
Overall, though, it was a good visit, and I praise the Lord that nothing more was found.
