THE SECOND TEN COMMANDMENTS


Most people are familiar with the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai as recorded in Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:1-21. But have you heard of the second Ten Commandments? The second Ten Commandments are "10 suggestions" of a cardiologist, Steven R. Yarnall, MD, for giving one the edge on being the best you can be.

Taking care of ourselves is most often just good, old-fashioned commonsense. But here are Yarnall's "10 Health Commandments" as I found them in a pamphlet put out by the Hope Heart Institute. Thou shalt ...

1. Exercise thy body. There's no need to climb mountains as Moses did, but if you don't use it, you will lose it. A famous physician once wrote, "If exercise came in a pill bottle, it would be the most widely prescribed medicine of all".

2. Exercise thy mind. Again, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. Read. Write. Go back to school. Exchange ideas. Be creative. Be reflective. Learn something new every day. Share what you learn with others.

3. Exercise thy spirit. Read inspirational and/or scriptural books. Don't be afraid to be open and loving. Give, and allow others to give to you.

4. Exercise thy willpower. Examine your habits...the ones you want to develop, and the ones you want to change. Then, set goals and make those changes.

5. Have a happy heart. Laugh. Live. Create. Share surprises. Help others find joy and purpose in their lives.

6. Play. Schedule time for pure play and find ways throughout your day to have fun.

7. Eat, drink, and be merry sensibly. Don't eat or drink or do anything else to excess. Don't smoke cigarettes or use harmful drugs. Don't take stupid chances.

8. Give up guilt, regret, and depression. Let go of the past and move on! Decide what's wrong (not who's wrong) and take action.

9. Fear not the future. The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. The future's not totally in your control, but if you take care of today, most of the future will take care of itself.

10. Live now. Learn from the past, plan for the future, and live in the present. Love others (and yourself) appropriately now. Look for leaders (living, dead or imagined) who are worthy of admiration and imitate their good qualities. Pursue and preserve healthy relationships; you become like those you are with.

The Ten Commandments were given to Moses as a standard to teach and live by so they would have a long and fulfilling life once they arrived in the promised land. God has given us the gift of life...body, mind, and soul. I want to suggest, then, that if followed, these 10 Health Commandments may have a big impact on how well we live the gift of life which God has given to us.

Linda and I did a bunch of yard sales, and we were on our way to the Dog Park, when SUDDENLY I had to go to the bathroom ! The Dog Park has plenty of places for dogs to do that, but NO PLACE for the HUMANS./ So I had to rush HOME! LOL!

A Design Flaw.

Weather? What weather? : )

It’s just been a little chilly here. No wet stuff. No wind. And plenty of sunshine. Looking forward to Spring.

I’d like to take a nap, but my wife is in Kansas with daughter. Don’t know if I would wake up in time to go to the office.

A nap would be helpful if you could set an alarm that you would actually hear.

Well, Bo and I are taking a few days off from the lake.

We had something happen Friday while we were out at the lake. While playing catch with a stick, Bo yelped and we stopped suddenly. When we got back to the house I noticed this gash above his lower left leg.

So I took him to the vet and she put some stitches on it. She also gave him some anti-biotics.

He's doing fine, but the vet has recommended he not do any running or water activity for the next couple of weeks.

So, for the next couple of weeks, we're going to lounge at the house and let Bo play with some pop bottles.

It'll heal up soon and Bo will be able to do the things he loves soon, but for now it's rest and relaxation time for him.

Awww....poor Bo, that’s one nasty gash!

I’m certain he’ll be happy as can be just to lounge & hang out with his best buddy!

Get well soon Bo!

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!




Amazing Grace
(Click)

By John Newton


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, .
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy.

Amen.

FR won’t let me post the new thread, nor fully load any other page. My Comments page will only load the last couple comments. And I can’t load past Post 61 of the Sunday Chapel thread.

I will keep trying to get it posted.
