Favourite thing about myself

June 21, 2023

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

Today’s WordPress question is an interesting one. The favourite thing about yourself.

To be honest this is not something I usually think about. But if I am pressed I would have to say my discipline in exercise.

I have trained six days a week for all of my adult life. That is is 38 years and counting. I started a gym program when I turned 18 and have stuck to it ever since.

My base program has revolves around three days of full body weights in my gym. The other three days are riding an exercise bike or going for a ride.

On top of this I play all types of sport with the kids at schools where I am Chaplain and on my days off I might go for a walk up our rock that overlooks our town.

Last Sunday I finished a 42 day fitness challenge for my work where we recorded all of our exercises. I did 4000 minutes in the 42 days. That is a bit over 95 minutes a day.

So what do I like most about myself. I would have to say my discipline in exercise.

Do you practice religion?

Do you practice religion?

Today’s question asks if I practice religion. I hope that from this website you can tell I do!

Although I would call it practicing my faith in Christ. My whole world revolves around Him. He is my Lord and Saviour and My King. He is my provider, my comforter and my best friend. He is my all in all.

So yes I do practice religion. I have since 1989. It is the best thing by far I have ever done. Following Jesus is the key to life.

Life before the internet?

May 30, 2023

Do you remember life before the internet?

Todays WordPress question was “Do we remember life before the internet”. I am old enough to say yes, but I have to admit only vaguely.

The main thing that comes to mind is doing studies before the internet. You had to go to a library and use books lol! I can remember getting an assignment for Bible college and then rushing to the library to get the best books.

The other things about times before the internet is actually going to see people to ask questions, to pay bills or to stay in contact with them. These days we can do all this online and we can do it from our couch.

So do I prefer life now with the internet or then without it? I guess both have there positives or negatives, but I have to say I enjoy the connection to people and information the internet gives us today.

How about you? Do you remember life before the internet? And if you do, which do you prefer?

Community involvement

May 16, 2023

What do you do to be involved in the community?

Today’s WordPress question is about being involved in the community. This is a simple one to answer for me – I go to church.

Some people might not consider going to church as being involved in the community. But in a small country town it is. You get to know people of all different ages, backgrounds and nationalities, you get to share lives and you hear of needs in the community.

In a small country town churches are often involved in the community projects. There is always something going on. Our churches have food parcel help, help with free furniture, run youth groups and we have an overnight shelter. These are just some of the things we can help with.

So for me getting involved in my community starts with church. If I moved to a small country town again I would start by visiting the local churches.

Most productive?

May 2, 2023

When do you feel most productive?

I feel most productive when I am one on one with people. When I can sit and talk, or walk and talk with others, I feel I am in my sweet spot. When I can listen, ask questions and encourage them I feel God can use me to bless them. It is this one on one time that is a big reason that God put me here on earth. Often I go away feeling blessed and like I have used my God given gifts to help others.

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. 1 Peter 4:10 NLT
