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.

We finally got some good rain. It rained most of the night and til about noon.

One of my coworkers is to be in an outdoor wedding today and I hope it was to start later in the afternoon, as the sun is now trying to come out.

Enjoy just hangin’.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, frank Ballenger, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Ya, same here. Woke up to rain and it rained till noon. Now a bit cloudy/sunny.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Hi Everybody!

((((HUGS))))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Did you have a good museum day? Lead some tours? A/C fixed?

We have gotten about .6” of rain. Hoping for more tomorrow.

How about you?

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

Yes, it was a good day at the museum. Not quite as busy as last week - WHEW! - but steadily so. The A/C issue has to wait until a natural gas line is laid. Then they’ll get new units to replace the ancient ones. One still works but the other two are kaput.

Not too bad today weather-wise. It started getting more humid this afternoon so it wasn’t quite as comfy as it was in the morning.

YAY! You got a decent rainfall! I pray you do get more tomorrow.

No rain here until early in the week and the chances aren’t all that great. Just going to be hot and muggy again.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hair freshly cut, but Dot had a previous engagement.

Sher was headed to the Kenai to go fishing after a couple more appointments and she said it was raining down there.

They are starting to send crews and equipment home. Boy, do they need rest....and the rain to continue.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

[radu]

It’s a shame Dot wasn’t able to make it today. It’s been a while since y’all lunched together.

I hadn’t checked the radar today. Just did and see quite a bit of rain at the Kenai! AWESOME sight! Don’t you know the fire crews are ready for a break at long last. I hope they get enough rain to put the fires out once and for all.

Plodding for God

Bible in a Year : Psalms 46–48; Acts 28

We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end. Hebrews 6:11

Those raised in the English village with William Carey (1761–1834) probably thought he wouldn’t accomplish much, but today he’s known as the father of modern missions. Born to parents who were weavers, he became a not-too-successful teacher and cobbler while teaching himself Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. After many years, he realized his dream of becoming a missionary to India. But he faced hardship, including his child’s death, his wife’s mental-health problems, and for many years the lack of response from those he served.

What kept him serving amid difficulties as he translated the entire Bible into six languages and parts of it into twenty-nine others? “I can plod,” he said. “I can persevere in any definite pursuit.” He committed to serving God no matter what trials he encountered.

This continued devotion to Christ is what the writer to the Hebrews counseled. He called for those reading his letter to not “become lazy” (Hebrews 6:12), but to “show this same diligence to the very end” (v. 11) as they sought to honor God. He reassured them that God “will not forget your work and the love you have shown” (v. 10).

During William Carey’s later years, he reflected on how God consistently supplied his needs. “He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.” May God also empower us to serve Him day by day.

Reflect & Pray

How has God helped you to keep on going in your service for Him? In what way can you help someone else in their struggles?

Lord God, help me to follow You—when I face challenges and enjoy good times. May I know the assurance that You are always with me.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Did you and Blue, with her new seat, get out for a ride?

You and Penny enjoy a good walk?

We finally got a half inch of rain. My lawn was happy, and the creek is really high.
