The Bible: Read and Understood

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I read a lot of devotions. Every day, I read one from Proverbs 31 Ministries, God Calling, Chuck Swindoll, and Holley Gerth. There are also several Christian bloggers I follow weekly. The Hubster and I catch YouTube video sermons and podcasts on weekends.

My reasoning is simple: It is research for my blog. It helps me mature as a Christ Follower. I love to study the Bible.

According to God Calling, we should "discipline and perfect yourself at all costs." Perfecting yourself doesn't mean to act perfectly, but rather to make progress in a forward fashion. I want to always strive to be better than yesterday.

Whatever your area of ministry, make sure you stay in the Word. It can only help your work, and if there is ever any conflict or storm of life, you can be sure to find the resolution in God's Answer Book.

Remember, all our deeds will be used if they are meant to further the Kingdom.

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
