look good with my shirt off

that this is at the top of my list, but it is my only goal with a time limit. It looks awful selfish to put this at number one, but my wife is making such efforts to look good for our vacations. We are encouraging each other to look our best this summer because we’ve both gotten a bit flabby. Both of the trips that we have planned for this summer are “bathing suit” oriented.

This passage is all about treating our bodies with the respect and honor that they deserve. Christ’s body was given to him by GOD. It was beaten and tattered and destroyed but GOD honored His body by raising Christ from the dead. GOD will do the same for our bodies. Our bodies are given the same honor and respect as the body of Jesus. Should we not take care of it as if it were the body of Jesus? Christians should not be the fattest, most unhealthy slobs on the block. The message puts it “The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. GOD owns the whole works. So let people see GOD in and through your body.”

I really want to take care of my body, so people will see that I respect my body. I need to start going to the Y and workout regularly like I said I was going to. I need to trust that if I am faithful with my body, GOD will be faithful to provide fuel for my car. I should probably start washing my hair more often too haha. My hair is part of my body. My hair falls out a lot which probably means I’m not really taking care of it. And I need to get to bed at a decent hour and wake up at a decent hour. I need to figure out a healthy diet and stick to it, even when I go home.

yes and amen

Last summer we rented a beach house for a couple of days. This year we’re planning on staying the whole week. I’m not very self-conscious about my body, but I really do want to look good for my wife. At 45 I don’t want to get lazy now.

hey everyone’s entitled to at least one insecurity, right? well this is mine. i hate taking my shirt off for any other reason than changing clothes or showering. this isn’t a purely vain goal though. i want to be in shape, so as to be a good steward of my body and also be able to do thing that i love well, such as rock climbing.
