Alright, go ahead. Read my blog, but don't comment. That's cool, no problem...it's not like I care or anything...(said in my best 7th grader voice...)
A while ago Christy ordered from an infomercial these Tae-bo videos with that guy, Billy Blanks. When I heard this I said, "WHAT!?!". Well, they came a few days ago, and Christy used it, she was sore and tired. So yesterday she convinced me to do it with her, and I was excited because I need the exercise, but I was thinking, "This will be good and I'll definately be able to handle it." NOPE. O MY GOSH!!!! How tiring can this stuff be??!?! I was totally OUT after about thirty minutes--granted, I used the little black strechy resistance bands, so it was harder than without...but still. It was HARD! Good for Christy, though. She kept going. It WAS her second time...but I'm not giving up. I'll do it again, and I'll go longer this time-you just WAIT!
We got some old Twilight Zone VHS tapes from my parents. It's fun watching those things. They are so corny-old. The make-up and special effects are so rediculous compared to what we can do today. But it is still fun, and a classic series that will forever be alive because of it's originality and that cool theme song. I mean, hey, Disneyland just built a Twilight Zone ride last year! This show aired forty years ago!

Psalm 47: 1-2, 6-7
1 Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
sing to him a psalm of praise.
----------I love the scriptures that command us to worship! David expressed himself to the Lord in many different ways. He lamented, he cried out in depair, he danced, he sang, he rejoiced. He was exressive to the Lord! I think that may be one thing lacking in my life, the freedom to express myself with abandon like David did. I'm not sure if it's part of my personality, or what. If you read the Psalms, you'll see David is pretty unashamed with himself. I know I'm not that free with myself before the Lord. Is that necessary? Is it a missing componant in my walk with Christ? Or just David's style?
Something for me to think about...(and you too!)

I think there's a conspiracy to keep me out of kids choir... yeah...
I love David. Sometimes the most "vicious" Psalms are the ones that reach me the most, assuring me that God knows the good, the bad and the ugly of my heart and still welcomes it all anyway. I can relate to the extremes of his heart, from high praise to basically praying curses on his enemies...it all comes back around to praise, but sometimes the road to get there honestly isn't pretty.
