2.17.13 - Day #5
Physical activity: My legs were a bit on the sore side so running was out for today. I trained my abs and did my normal 50 dips. I also added in some close grip dumbbell presses at a ~30 degree angle. It's a nice way to hit the lower chest. Felt strong which is good as I thought all this vegan stuff would kill my strength.
My mood: I was in a great mood. I attend the 7am service so it was very cold when I made it to church. But the sermon and message about siblings was awesome. I definitely reflected on Bishops words as they made a ton of sense and added some much need insight in my life. I also watched the rest of the services i.e. the 9am and 11am services online. The whole Sunday series really framed the dynamics of the sibling relationship well and really gave me some tools to use when I have biological children.
My devotions:
Joel Osteen:
Revelations/Lessons/Thoughts: My thoughts today about were about my brother. Which make sense based on the sermons.:-) We had a rocky relationship growing up. He use the beat the stuffing out of me pretty much everyday that I could remember. I was his punching bag where he honed is fighting skills. Case in point, when I was born my mom found him in my crib trying to bite off my toe! Like who does that!LOL I also however remember when it all ended. One gut shot he went down and I went to work on him. Yep, victory was mine that day.LOL I guess I had finally gotten his respect so the beatings stopped immediately.
Over time and through it all, I learned to appreciate him. While he beat me pretty regularly, no one dared look at me crossed eyed because he would protect me no matter the situation right or wrong. Now that we are older we laugh at the fights and love each other beyond measure. He's still a very wild dude who looks nothing like me but I wouldn't trade him for nothing in the world. I guess I should call him...huh!LMBO
Godspeed,
Nard
