Day Eleven-ish

So I saw Kung Fu Panda the other day. Good Flick, especially if you like the old Kung Fu films. and the amount of celebrity voices is crazy: Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, Michael Clarke Duncan to name a few. Any way it gets a 3 out of 5 from me.





And Thanks to a Lurker in our midst, we now know the book I was talking about was by AJ Jacobs.


The Year of Living Biblically is about my quest to live the ultimate biblical life. To follow every single rule in the Bible – as literally as possible. I obey the famous ones:
  • The Ten Commandments
  • Love thy neighbor
  • Be fruitful and multiply
But also, the hundreds of oft-ignored ones.
  • Do not wear clothes of mixed fibers.
  • Do not shave your beard
  • Stone adulterers
I may just have to go out and pick this one up.


My own Day Eleven, What can I do to remind myself to think about God and talk to him more often throughout the day? Since I began this journey, not eleven days ago but several months ago when I started listening to some of the sermons by Pastor David Uth. I found that I began to confide in God more. The process had already began, it is what lead me to take the next steps to becoming closer to him and further examine our relationship. It is nice to think or to know that he wants a relationship with me. One of my biggest hang ups was always that God demanded subservience. In the final book of the left behind series. The glorious appearing is described, or at least my understanding of the description was the Jesus appeared and the believers lost all self will and became what appeared to be automatons for Jesus. I had a real issue with this, however focus on understanding God's will and developing a relationship with him, thats something I can understand and embrace. I am going to start wearing an old bracelet that looks like worn wood for awhile to remind me to tlak more to him throughout the day.

On the LC front, I am getting a sinus infection or head cold or something. It kind blows as i have a race around the corner. The raging internal debate....To sleep or to train...I guess I wont know until 4:30 tomorrow morning.
