But...but, but, but.....

Our Daily Bread
Have you ever been in an argument or "discussion" that you knew you weren't going to win?  You try to explain and can't get anything in the conversation except for "but.... but, but, but".  Ding, ding, ding!  Fight over and you only got one word in!  Well, the devotional doesn't have anything to do with "discussions" -- it has everything to do with God's presence and promises!

The devotional writer tells of his favorite sermon that included "But God" verses.  There was no argument going on.  These verses use the words "but God" to start a phrase that tells what God is going to do or what he promises or what he has already done!  I never really thought about it before until I read the examples in the devotional.  Click on the "Our Daily Bread heading if you want to link over to the devotional.  It is pretty cool.

Duane tries to do stuff on his own...But God speaks to him gently through the Holy Spirit to guide him in the ways of righteousness.

Workout Wednesday
I mentioned this briefly on Facebook the other day, but I wanted to write a little bit about it in today's entry.  Want to know a quick and easy way to get your metabolism started first thing in the morning?  Try doing five to ten minutes of calisthenics before you jump in the shower in the morning!  Here is what I do when I don't have time (or just sleep in late) to work out in the morning:
20 push ups (or as many as I can do)
20 squats
20 lunges (10 each side)
20 jumping jacks
60 second plank (or as long as you can go).

OR

30 burpees
60 second plank

This is a nice wake up your metabolism routine you can do in your bedroom.  Try it tomorrow!
