A few more thoughts

So I have been compiling a list of posts I want to write, but they always seem rougher when I write them than in my mind, I'll try to work on that a bit, anyway...

The first guy to disciple me intentionally that I knew about besides my parents and I were talking once and he gave me his health test. I don't remember exactly what he called it, but even now I still use it in the back of my mind. I am not sure if he came up with it or heard it somewhere, but here it is:

Are you:
- Eating?
- Sleeping?
- Exercising?

Ok, now Spiritually, Are you:
- Eating?
- Sleeping?
- Exercising?

Simple, but very telling. If you ask yourself what does it mean to sleep spiritually, think of it more like "rest" rather than sleep. If you are still not sure, I'd look into that, same goes for the rest. So for me...

Am I:
- Eating? Yes, trying to eat better portions and variety, making some progress.
- Sleeping? Yes, 6-8 hours a night, but I am still usually tired.
- Exercising? Nope, I was doing a lot of outdoor work at work for a while that was exercise, lifting and moving drums and such, but the last week or so I have spent most of my time asleep, or at a PC (8 hours a day at work!!)

Ok, now Spiritually, am I:
- Eating? A little, not as much as I need. want to. As evidence, I am writing this before bed rather than having the quiet time that is on my to-do list for the day.
- Sleeping? Yeah, taking time to rest, God has blessed me in seeing him in just about everything (more on that later)
- Exercising? A Little, but I have been so busy doing other stuff I have not been as much as I want/ need to.

So there I am. I hope this blesses you as it has me.
