| 99 and never told a lie??I got the opportunity to witness to a woman recently who is almost 99. She came to the Memorial Day Ceremony that we did the sound system for in town. At her age, she claims never to have told a lie, to never have broken any of the 10 commandments. How sad. She has a Catholic background and thought it was fantastic (she said) that I was thinking about what I was talking about, "because the world is SO bad." But though I asked her to honestly search her heart, she still said she had never broken a commandment.
As I left, she joked that maybe she had lied to me when she said she hadn't ever lied, but then said "I'm just kidding!" She said she had "taken" apples that weren't hers but laughed at my statement that taking apples from a neighbor without permission would be stealing them. She said she was always the mischief maker in her house. It was a very interesting conversation, you don't get to speak with an almost centegenarian (did I spell that right?) every day. She's very spry, doesn't look 98. How sad though, to have come to that point in your life and still deny Christ. I pray that her heart would soften. | | |
| Since this is kind of my offbeat website and not many people know about it, I feel like I can post anything :D Of course, nothing scandalous or anything, and I know that anyone CAN see it. But the general population that visits my blog doesn't visit here. And I can check out people's reactions to things and see if I want to post them at my blog 
So consider yourself a guinea pig. 
Some people know I've been working out. Yes that's right, pumping the iron. I've got two 10 lb dumbbells and some weights for a barbell. Other than that I do bodyweight exercises like pull ups and pushups. So far I can only do 3 full pullups, from straight armed down to chin over the bar (rafter! lol) and no kipping, like in this video. It kind of hurts my hands to hold on to the rafter, but it's ok. It increases grip strength I'm sure.
This girl can really do pull ups! I suppose kipping isn't cheating, but to me it's not a real, full pull up. Each to his own.
Ok so I took some flexing pictures to see how my progress is going. The lighting is extremely deceptive, it makes me look more ripped than I am! (Which is reality is very little).
And a tricep shot.
So these are the nutty things I do...besides eating a lot of salad and nuts and chicken and cottage cheese and NOT eating hardly any sugar or white flour. It's been interesting. It'll be much harder to eat healthily on the road, I think, but I'm not worried about it. I'm doing what I can with the resources I have and God will supply what I need :) | | |
| Ok...so what do I have to post about?! Pray for our bus, the engine isn't in yet and we have a concert tomorrow  And the van is broken!
I took some pictures for a hair thing. Anyone want to see them? Ok ok, you pulled and twisted my arm. You REEEEALLY want to see a braided bun. OK. 
And here it is dutch braided, before it was pinned up (first time I've managed to do one! Yay).
A picture from a recent excursion:
Ok, I updated  | | |
