Calling All Gym Team Members!!!

I had been slacking on my workout plan, so I had to get back in the groove. I know I wasn't the only one slacking, so I decided to motivate my followers on Twitter. I think I helped myself, too.

CP_6: Calling all #gymteam members! If you have had 3 or more consecutive "shouldacouldawoulda" days, Step up and get back on track. I'm Goin In!

CP_6: Calling all #gymteam members! If you have grown in the X, Y, and Z directions, its time to buckle your will and your belt back down. Lets Go

CP_6: Calling all #gymteam members, if you've recently fallen back in love with a favorite food, think about eating it as a guilt-free reward. YES


CP_6: Calling all #gymteam members, if you can't find your running shoes, you probably left them with your DRIVE. Go Find it!

CP_6: Calling all #gymteam members, if your inside thighs burn from walking, you need to get a Scout patch for making fire, or get in the gym.

CP_6: Calling all #gymteam members, don't use up all your excuses while you're unmotivated, you'll actually need a break when you're groovin

CP_6: Calling all #gymteam members, you don't miss a meal cuz you don't have a fork. Don't miss grinding cuz you dont have ______ . Excuses...

Benjamin Button

I just watched Benjamin Button, and this quote stuck in my head...

“Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.” - Benjamin Button

Today, My fiancee and I missed an opportunity. An opportunity that started off Golden, and slowly faded. And when opportunity turned into to just a hope, then we prayed and prayed and prayed.....and hoped that God would answer our prayers the way that we wanted them answered. So, naturally, we were disappointed.

Disappointed, but it helped us realize our blessings. And just hours after disappointment, we have taken advantage of new opportunities that will arise from this event, and these blessings are sure to follow. I've got a good mind to believe that these blessings will follow quickly.

I thank God for the wisdom to see my blessing out of my disappointment, and a new definition of my life from this opportunity.

What I Learned Today...

Check out my boy Pastor Marcus Cylar...

http://tanner-price.com/ http://www.fromthepastorspen.com/

1 Peter 5:8-11 (King James Version)

8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

John 14

1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

Mark 4:3-32 (King James Version)

3Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

4And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

6But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

9And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

11And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

13And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

14The sower soweth the word.

15And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

18And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

26And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

27And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

28For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

30And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

32But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

Lightning Strikes Twice!!

This dude is seriously ridiculously too fast...

Come on People



Doggone it. C'mon, Plaxico. Another one bites the dust. And watch everyone scream and moan about how unfair it is. And they are just destroying the black athlete. But there comes a certain point where we need to be held accountable for their actions. So what should have been 3.5 years for being a complete and utter dummy, turns out being just 2. Somebody might argue about Stallworth only getting 30 days for killing a man. But he got looked out. Sometimes that stuff happens, yay legal system. But to be upset or say the system is messed up because his plea deal wasn't reached using the four-and-a-half finger discount is asinine. I think that with all the crazy stuff that happens afterwards, the message is missed.

The moral of the story: Don't do stupid stuff, especially if you're famous, double-especially if you're black. It never works out in your favor. Yup.

Just some Hump Day Humor

Again!!

Are You Ready 4 Some Football?! Not really.

What is the issue. This is like the 37th time he's come back. Why do they let him keep coming back. Why did they let Jordan come back all those times too. I think that is an insult. I understand Legends not wanting to give it up, but to play with people and teams emotions like that, its pretty ridiculous.

To sign him for not one, but TWO seasons at $12M and $13M is out of control. The Vikings must really be desperate to win the NFC North. The division that they won last year with two QB's and Adrian Peterson. It's not like they are a forreal contender.

$25M on a 60% at best arm for two years on a guy who will throw just as many Interceptions as TD's will place them probably 1 game ahead of the Lions for 3rd in the division.

Let Him Live

I wasn't feeling the questions, I think they need to let him live. There is so much work done in fluffing these situations, its hard to get through to the real person, but I think this was a good piece, and you could feel some sincerity within his answers. Now let him play and hope for Eagles blowouts after week 6. FYI - Philly plays in ATL for week 8...

Get some Word!!

Pastor said read Romans 4 for this week....

Romans 4 - KJV

1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

2For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

7Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

9Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

10How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

12And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

13For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

14For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

15Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

16Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:

20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

25Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

They are already here!


Can you believe that the jersey sales are already poppin off?! Thats how it happens. Long time coming. Personally, I think the Lions should have taken him and let him split time with the overpaid rookie. Ahh, well. I still can't believe that people are as upset as they are. This man just did two years in prison for killing some dogs. A lot of people kill dogs. I don't even like dogs, but after all that, you'd think he would get a break. That's that foolishness.

Here We Go!

Welcome back to the blog world, lets see what happens...
