Steadfast


No Coward Soul is Mine
by Emily Bronte

No coward soul is mine
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere
I see Heaven's glories shine
And Faith shines equal arming me from Fear

 O god within my breast
Almighty ever-present Deity
Life, that in my hast rest,
As I undying Life, have power in Thee

 Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts, unutterably vain,
Worthless as withered weeds
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main

 To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by thy infinity,
So surely anchored on
The STEADFAST rock of Immortality...

Steadfast.  All my life I'll spend it with you/ All of my days will be for loving you/ each and every night for the rest of my life/ I'd be STEADFAST, unmovable, unshakable/...  I'd like to admit that I'm not a fan of the poem today, but I had to give up trying to find a poem with the word steadfast.

Yesterday and today I did short rides outside on my bike.  It's obvious to me that my asthma is steadfast.  Today after my ride I used the Google Machine to look up cycling and asthma.  Although I knew most of the information, it seems colder weather, cycling, and asthma are not all friends.  It also told me to try to breathe out of my nose more when cycling.  I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'll give it a try (Not tomorrow, it's supposed to snow).

Today I give thanks for...
1) Robins chirping and flying and chirping...
2) Time to read
3) My cycling playlist... it's fun.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
