The Happiest ThanksGiving Ever

2005-11-25T16:51:00.000-05:00

This past Thanksgiving, was miraculous, marvelous, fantastic and totally awesome. Yes, I will tell you why. I was among new friends and an incredible lady for now know as M. M is gorgeous, can sing her tushy off, is a shining light. We connected, on all levels. I met her a short while ago, but knew instantly she was someone I needed to get to know better. The spark was there, the smile, the eyes they blew me away.

Thank God she had the same feelings for me. We had the best day, We laughed, we cried, we danced, we kissed. It was like we knew each other for years, instant connection.

That has never happened to me before, instantly, knowing, instantly feeling, instantly drawn like a magnet to her and her to me.

M i can wait until we see each other again, just to look into your eyes, just to see your smile, just to hold you again. :)

Trials, Tribulations, and the Accuser of the Brethern

2005-10-31T10:11:00.000-05:00

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

--Ephesians 6

This past week has been filled with major highs and major lows. It has been a roller-coaster ride of emotions, physical triumphs, and physical pain, it has been a week of financial distress, and extreme joyful laughter and banter, but also sadness. Hurtful sadness.

The pressure this week has been like a ton of bricks. I have had to make major decisions, that I wasn't prepared to make at the time, I have had to overcome obstacles that were thrown my way to trip me up, I have lost some battles this week, some battles that I should have won. Battles that under-nornal circumstances would have never been an issue.

(Weakness, Eric--just pure self-pity weakness!!!)- actually lack of faith

I was whittled down and deflated by a series of events, by recollections of the past, and by feelings.

I can't do it any longer, I spread myself to thin, give too much of myself, where pieces of me are left scattered across the battlefields of thought and minds and souls I encounter. Each time "Pieces of Me" are pulled, I lose another bit of confidence, another bit of self esteem and respect. I lose the parts of me that make me, ME!!

----

However!!!! I understand the spiritual battles that have been taking place. I understand the battle and the temptations and the forces attacking me.

By understanding, and recognizing, you actually have turned the "page" or the tide of that battle. By keeping your faith, or turning back towards your faith, you have the strength to overcome. I have turned away to long once again. I have let circumstances effect me, I have let, my faith waiver, when it is my faith that has brought me to the top of the mountain many times. It is my faith that has given me the authority and the power to accomplish those tasks.

Thank you Lord, thank you God. Thank you for sending the labors across my path to remove those seeds of doubt, to remove the darkness and to shed Light.

---

I am healed in Jesus Name

A workman is worthy of his hire

Devil you are under my feet.

---------

I call in all the financial seeds sown, all my bills are paid in Jesus name. I have no debt, my covers runeth over, I extend my faith.

Amen

-----

Sermon on the Mount.. Matthew chapter 7

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Mat 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Mat 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?

Mat 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Mat 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Mat 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Mat 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Mat 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Mat 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Mat 7:14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Mat 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Mat 7:29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.

'No Pain No Gain' May Not Be Good Advice

2005-10-24T18:55:00.000-04:00

By JOANN LOVIGLIO, Associated Press Writer Mon Oct 24, 1:54 PM ET

PHILADELPHIA - For David Kozlow, turning 40 was a major pain in the neck. And in the ankles, back, groin, shoulder and hamstrings.

A lifelong athlete who played high school lacrosse and college football, ran a 5:20 mile and bench-pressed 300 pounds, the attorney found himself approaching his 40th birthday with a laundry list of exercise-related injuries.

One of those ailments, a herniated disk in his neck, took two years of acupuncture and heat therapy to alleviate the pain.

"I still had the mind-set that I was in my 20s," he said. "It took a few years for me to come to the conclusion that I couldn't really do what I used to do, and I had to readjust my sights."

Getting older hurts — and when it comes to exercise injuries, doctors say that's more the case than ever before. Many are seeing increasing numbers of baby boomers with blown knees, sore backs, stiff shoulders and other complaints.

"The volume of people in their 40s, and even in their 30s, coming in with (knee) osteoarthritis is much higher than a decade ago," said Dr. Jess Lonner, director of knee-replacement surgery at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. "It's a highly motivated generation that plays harder than a generation ago."

Sports injuries among baby boomers increased by 33 percent from 1991 to 1998, according to figures cited in a U.S.

The highest numbers of sports-related injuries came from bicycling, basketball, baseball and running, according to the consumer report. The most common injuries come from overuse and affect knees, ankles, lower back and shoulders.

Aging can't be avoided, but injuries can be. And doctors say that doesn't mean all avid joggers must hang up their running shoes, or lifelong basketball players must necessarily forgo the neighborhood court — it's all about exercising smarter.

"The old adage 'no pain, no gain' should be less relevant as we age than when we're younger," Lonner said. "It's a matter of being educated in how to exercise appropriately and what signs to look out for when exercising, like muscle soreness and joint pain."

For Kozlow, the solution was to switch from strenuous weightlifting to a workout that was gentler on muscles and joints. Now he does yoga and tai chi every day, strength training with light free weights and push-ups every other day, along with isometrics and elastic resistance bands. He also walks to and from work — about a 35-block round-trip.

"The goal was to be pain-free and to be fit without hurting myself," said Kozlow, who didn't rely on drugs or surgery to heal his injuries. "You have to readjust your mind-set and be more attuned to your body and its limitations, which can be hard to admit."

As we age, experts say, it's easier to get injured and it takes longer to heal sprains and strains. The physical changes and ailments that can come with age include loss of muscle mass, decreased bone density, diminished muscle and tendon flexibility, and joints less able to handle impact.

If the idea of exercise is to keep in top physical condition, hot-dogging it on mountain bike trails or trying to relive those varsity-letter glory days in "weekend warrior" style can be counterproductive, said Dr. Vonda Wright, clinical instructor in the department of orthopedic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

"Many of us may still feel like we're 20, but we're not 20," she said. "Men come into my office with ruptured Achilles' tendons or muscle tears because they insist on doing the same things they did when they were much younger."

Doctors recommend a physical exam, including a cardiovascular work-up, for baby boomers looking to get active or stay fit. The results can be used to tailor an individual fitness program with the lowest injury risk.

"It all depends on the person. If you repeatedly get banged up by being on the basketball court, you should think about getting on a bike," Wright said. "There's a time to reconsider doing extreme sports, but there's never a time to stop being active."

Personal Comments: I have been participating in sports form the age of 6 through the age of 35, form 35-just before 40 I hung them up. In July of this year just before my 40th birthday I started playing basketball again, and was getting into pretty good shape and was moving like a 20 year old. I could wipe the floor with most of the people on the court, I just didn't have the full lungs back yet, but they were coming. Unfortunately the age and the degeneration of the left leg, was instrumental in the breaking of the bones in my knee. It was bound to happen.

Regardless, when this Leg finally heals totally form Knee surgery I will be back on the court. I will shoot, I will exercise and I will continue my incredible flexibility status. Below while the left leg was still with staples and in pain!!

this is not going to stop me

Determination, perspiration, dedication, inspiration, and avocation will be the success.

Monday Morning -- How will you start your week?

2005-10-17T07:42:00.000-04:00

As we walk our paths we must take time to reflect.

I have said this many times and I guess I need to make sure I say it again:

Our Words are the beginning of our existence.

What we speak,

We think,

what we think

We do.

If we are not pleased with our situations, then we must take steps to change it. Those steps start with our words, then with our thoughts and then finally with our actions. Words without actions are meaningless or Idle words.

Once we have said the "proper positive words" we must follow through with some action or step in that direction. If we don't then nothing has changed and nothing will change.

----

I have no patience for people that consistently wallow in their own existence, and don't realize they have the power, the true power to make a positive change for themselves and their circumstances just by their own words. Speak positively to the situation. Take steps and actions to change and the circumstances will change. It's the way things work. Do it!

Laying aroundr and constantly complaining, wallowing will solve nothing. Yes, I empathize, Yes I understand, Yes I have compassion, BUT there comes a point in time everyone must take action and take stock in their own situation and make the small steps to change.

Without those small steps NOTHING and I mean nothing is going to change. Even a Handout or some grandiose gesture by a stranger, will not change your situation, unless you change it in Your words, Your thoughts and Your Actions.

I have written on this prior in many instances as well of other topics. Here is the Best of the Daily RANTS:

LEO SCOPE--

Daily extended (by Astrology.com)

When it comes to relationships, what you're offering is like gold. What you insist upon is someone who can provide you with nothing that even remotely resembling 'the usual' -- in any department. This doesn't necessarily mean that you'll try to entice someone, who's currently attached, away from their current situation, but if you did -- well, let's hope it would be only because you were sure that you and they would have a long-term relationship that would be better for both of you. Right

Wow...That's the first Horoscope I read in Year....

A Window of Words to the Very Core - A Poem of Sorts or maybe more.

2005-10-09T12:50:00.000-04:00

What does it mean to love?

We give, we share, we need, we offer

Is it returned or do we suffer.

Is Love our choice or does it just happen.

Is there longing from the other side

are their reciprocal feelings or it's all just...

Does she realize the magic that could,

Does she know and is it understood?

We talk, we laugh, but distance is there,

not in the mind but the miles between.

So we just forget. ? !

We walk away. ? !

We do not bother

Nothing else to say.

Life is short

Too much drama for unrequited care.

Why Bother one says, one knows not all.

We shut off emotions like a cold hard stare?

One day things might be different,

my situation is limited by physical impair

When I walk, there will be accounting for actions

The ones we felt were True

didn't display their colors through

Others stepped up to the plate

and formed a bond that will remain in state!

What can I say, Love is bold.

The Old Principles Must Now Apply,

For it is the woman that chooses and not the GUY.

So make your best play,

Box-out the rest.

You will win the very BEST.

For I choose not to decide,

my choices are usually for the ones that cried.

Not a great track record of choices I make.

Let the Woman choose me and it will not be forsaken

The sign on the door will be this man is taken!!!
