Just got back from the gym - I started back working out again aftedr not really doing it for a few years. I had already lost about 25 lbs. - but now to the gym to get what's left off and build some muscle. Believe it or not this is part of my lenten discipline - to give up "lazyness" so to speak. When it comes to exercise - I am definitely lazy. So this, along with getiing up earlier to spend more time with God is my Lenten rule - but I hope that it is a beginning to a life of the two habits and also a life of abstaining from things for periods of time.
It feels good to be sore. Earlier this week I was not saying that - but know that I am starting to get used to me routine, the soreness is welcome. Like the glass of yucky Nyquil when you feel bad. Bad but good.
There is a good discussion going on here at my brother's blog about about art and its uses. It looks like the beginning of are interesting look at art and its use for prayer and worship. Images fascinate me - I can't go anywhere without them.
