Stop talking and making excuses, and start exercising in the mornings. Do something that doesn't fatigue your legs. You will hurt less because you're in better shape and not carrying around all the extra weight... but I'm pretty sure you know all this and you simply need a kick in the (big)...

:D I like that question. It made me smile. Seems most secular music is indeed secular... as it is not sacred, eh? ...most Maybe who/what influences creation of a song better defines it, but that may be difficult to pin down?

Whoa... Selfish? You just might have something in YOUR eye there, sequins! (Me too, though, haha.) To clarify, I'm not in favor of changing a worship service so new music scares anyone (inside) away. I am in favor of adding an alternative that doesn't scare anyone (outside) away...

I personally find contemporary Christian music more conducive to my worshiping than traditional hymns. I have a few favorite oldies, but tend to get "in the worship zone" with newer songs. I think non-traditional Christian music, including rap and heavy metal, can bridge a gap between young...

fitmom is rockin as always, I see! I like this from her: "functional compound movements." Also wanted to offer some encouragement that, at least for me, good bicep mass was possible without isolation. I wouldn't have believed it either, till I saw it on myself after falling in love with...

Attagirl! Also, either get yourself a workout partner or hang in Gods Bods Exercise Club (stickied thread in this forum). It helps. Peace :) retoof

Wow! You write really well - much better than most anyone I know under 40 years old. Those skills might get you somewhere. Just be patient, ok? One step at a time. Oh, and remember: NOTHING is impossible with God! And NOTHING can separate you from His love! So, dangit, set a vision for...

Yes. Disclaimer: Everyone's different! Ask your Dental Hygienist ;)

Yes. Hang in there! :thumbsup: ...might try easing into it a little too; don't kill yourself to start. :)

I'm sorry. I realize now I edited my ramble enough to leave it completely unintelligible. Here's the short of it: My son is loved by a non-Christian girl... who's pretty cool by most measures yet lacks a Christian foundation. He also has a friend who is an amazing Christian girl. While...

Thanks, guys! :) We all know he needs a Godly girl/woman. He's 18 and tells me it's not gonna happen over night to bring her to Christ. While I really enjoy this girl loving him, I would be very joyful for him to consider his Christian friend... either as future mate or at least standard by...

A girl without a Christian foundation loves my son completely, with her body and mind and soul… with all she’s got! And that love is a beautiful thing. She’s 100% devoted, and she gives all she has in every way. I love how she loves him! I even find myself desiring to be loved that way...

Thank you all for your replies! :) I'm sure praying and "let go, let God" is the way to go... but while I struggle with that as a parent (and amateur philosopher :P), I am curious about your take on this. In particular, it's sobering to think what a huge impact we have as parents on setting...

If she loves him completely, with body and mind and soul, is that enough? If she loves him in every way, with 100% devotion, is that enough? If she takes all she has, and gives him everything, is that enough? If she uses all her power and wisdom and spirit to fully love him, is that...

Thanks for explanation. And I agree. I see comments/behaviors by young girls in particular that cause me to shudder. I'm hoping to attract some readers to my blog on MS in which I address some of what I see. It's a tricky proposition to write so young people will read... and still make a...

A good scare? A fake account? Act like a stalker?! I hope those are the jokes. Regarding "silly, doesn't matter, most are genuine," those statements might be debatable... but they reflect the experience and perception of poster. I'm willing to bet most MS'ers would say the same. From what...

Hey! Glad to see the Club is still alive and well. I'm back at it now in the (water skiing) off-season, though we'll still get out one or two more times. Working out with my almost-18-year-old son and enjoying the time together. We're easing back into it like this: M - Legs (squats +...

I'm with 2B, deadlifts rock! Though afraid of them for years, they are by far my favorite exercise now. I usually do 5 sets with up to 5 reps, and only once per week... man, I love deadlifts. :D EDIT to add: I like to add in wide-grip pull-ups and either seated rows or bent dumbell rows.

Lifted again since last post: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, staying pleasantly sore. Now I'm gonna miss out for a week while I travel to son's baseball tournament. GO GO GO! :clap:

Hey, fitmom, stop slacking and do some CARDIO would ya? ;) Thursday Balance work on Swiss ball Lunges: 2X10 SLDL: 2X10 Dips: 2X5 Pull-ups: 2X5 Leg lifts: 1X10 Crunches on Swiss ball Pretty sore still from Tuesday... playing around with this general body stuff for a week or two searching for...
