March Miles

I finished out March with 109 miles!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!! That makes a total of (drum roll, please...) 325 for this year!

Energetic "Worship"

I don't know about you, but I don't ever get really excited about some types of work. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind working, but there are some things that I just don't like to do. I guess that's why I never really liked the term "working out" or "exercise." It doesn't sound like a lot of fun, does it? (Hey, I'm just being honest!)

After reading Leslie's third book, "Walking the Walk - Getting Fit With Faith," I found a term that she used in the introduction that I really liked.

First, let me say that we all like to worship. We're Pentecostals for goodness sakes!!! Worship is just a part of us, or should be. I believe that what we do with our temples is a part of our worship. Most of us would never think about pouring sodas, smearing chocolates on the carpet, or cramming greasy foods on our church buildings or places where we meet with God's people, would we? But not a lot even stop to think about what we're putting into the real temple of God - our bodies. (I Corinthians 3:16-17, 6:12-20). What we do with our bodies - the temple of God- is a part of our worship to Him. It is our responsibility to take care of His dwelling place!

Exercise or whatever you want to call it, is a part of taking care of the temple of God. The term that I found in Leslie's book is "energetic worship." I loved the thought and that is what I call my workouts now. I love it that God has allowed me to get out of bed and be able to move, so while I exercise, that's what I am doing with my body or temple of God. I am "energetically worshiping," - keeping His temple fit!

How many will "energetically worship" with me this week?

Saturday

I'll see you in the morning at 10 am!!! I am not excited about getting on the scales after being gone!!! YIKES!! But I will!!

Let's do it again!

Always a reason!! LOL!

Hello?

Is anyone still there? Do I still have some long distance walking partners? It's been quiet on the blog, so I just thought I would check in.

Everything is a GO!

The computer will accept me! Yippee! Picture AND sound! See ya there!

Hello

Hello from the Holy Land....and wow does it ever feel holy...walking where HE did....experiencing the area He ministered in....

We are enjoying it so much. Today we were in the Galilee Area....where he did most of his ministry. Tonight we had a service on a boat out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee. It was so much fun. Pastor King gave a short message. We sang and danced on the boat.

Can't wait to share it all with in a presentation when we get back.

Keep us in your prayers....tomorrow we go "up to Jerusalem!"

C-ya later!

Tomorrow morning we take off to No Limits in Sacramento California....one of my favorite meetings....so uplifting and so progressive. It is Wed-Fri.

We will be staying over because we have to be in San Francisco on Monday night for an early flight out for Israel on Tuesday morning. Pastor King, Mark, Star and I will spend 1 week in Israel! I am so excited to see them "experience" Israel. It is more than a visit...it is a life changing trip! I believe it enriches any minister's ministry.

We chose this time to go because Bro. Wilson was putting the tour together. There are so many one God, Jesus Name people going. There will be several buses of us. It is so much better to go with a group like that. So we decided to tag along.

Pray for us.....if it doesn't settle down over there we won't be able to go to Jericho, Bethlehem, the Dead Sea or Masada. I really want to be able to go to those places.

If I can get to Internet I will post while I am there....no guarantees....I don't think the hotels have access and you can't just take off on your own to go find an Internet cafe. So if it is available I will...if not....later!

Love all of you. Have a good work out this Saturday and next!! Sherri will be carrying on!!!
