I needed help

And I found it in you. Y'all are just the help I needed! Thank you very much. I knew I needed to get moving and get healthy. I also needed someone to check with me often to ensure I was sticking to my plan. Y'all have gone beyond that and are joining me in the challenge - thank you. I am impressed that John and Evelyn are walking often; that Susan has added bike riding to her gym routine; that Mary Jo is walking 30 minutes 3 days each week, too; and Denise is walking in different locations outdoors and on the treadmill indoors. Wow! That is so awesome and encouraging. What are the rest of you doing? Share your stories, also.
Today I planned to walk 30 minutes in the church but rather than praying I listened to an audio recording of part (not all) of Matthew's gospel. It was good but for me today it was not quite as good as praying. I firmly believe that we should read scripture every day and I feel that an audio Bible is a good way to "read" the Bible. I know of an organization that sells mp3 players pre-loaded with the New Testament (several versions, even). It is called a Bible Stick and is available through Faith Comes By Hearing at http://www.faithcomesbyhearing.com/store/languageconfig
I also have mentioned that the walking has hurt my feet. Larry helped me get some relief from that pain when he told me about Penetran Plus. It is a salve that he has used for relief in his arthritic joints and it relieves the pain in my feet. Hallelujah!
I completed 30 minutes of walking with less pain and the pleasure of hearing several parables from Jesus. Did you know that the kingdom of God (heaven) is like a tree?!
How is your walking, praying and Bible reading going?
