WHAT I’VE LIKED – Nov. 28
November 28, 2015
The following are some of my favorite waves from my web surfing over the last couple weeks.
QUOTE:
“It’s nice to be great, but far greater to be nice.”
~ Joe Newton
FAITH:
I appreciated this article of strategies to help enjoy continuous communion with God. Nancy gives 10 very practical aids to help set our minds on God. I particularly liked her reminder, “our all-gracious God chooses to bless us when we seek to bless him.” Ten Ways to Keep Mindful of God
POETRY:
“And then one day He wasn’t there –
no voice, no touch, no sense
that He was watching over me,
the heavens just seemed dense.
And then I knew just how it felt
to be an afterthought.
To not be top of someone’s list,
the first thing they sought.
It took some time to make it up,
I learned to make amends.
But now I guard it preciously
that God and I are friends.”
~ Ann Marie Thomas, Neglect, My Stroke of Inspiration
INSPIRATION/ENCOURAGEMENT:
This article by Tim Challies was very encouraging as he exhorts, “You can be far holier, far purer than you ever thought possible.” A Simple but Life-Changing Realization
RUNNING:
It is a familiar story –
I am seeking inspiration to run;
maybe some running movies will help.
12 Great Running Movies
CYCLING:
I hate it when the weather gets too cold and I am forced onto the indoor trainer. I just can’t take long trainer workouts so that is why I liked this article. The author recommends short, hard efforts to build our aerobic energy system—in less time. Work a little harder but get it done in less time – I like that.
The article has workouts to do two to three times a week. I am going to give these a go this off-season. How to Ride Inside: Indoor Trainer Workouts for Cyclists
GARDENING:
I will warn you – if you like great gardens, it is hard to watch only one episode.
CRAFTSMANSHIP:
AMAZING:
A DEVOTED LIFE
