No Sugar Please

Happy Son-Day,  Winter's Last Harrah!
A place where you will always find good news.

No Sugar Please
I am continuing the storyline on loving yourself.  Previously, I touched briefly on taking time and rewarding yourself.   Today, I tackle the physical part of taking care of yourself.  And yes, the Bible goes there.

First, a public service message from your Creator and Curator

Psalm 139:14
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." 

Self-care Please
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies."

3 John 2
"Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well."

1 Timothy 4:8 - 
For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

As I become more seasoned, I find it more challenging to maintain the vessel God gave my spirit.  This shell, like a vehicle, requires high-octane fuel and maintenance.  Bad fuel and poor maintenance lead to a breakdown of the vessel.  No revelation here.

A big-time bad fuel for me is refined sugar.  I can ingest it, but it likes to take residence and stay for a spell.  When I refrain from any form of sugar, my body responds with good health.  So, I can eat sugar, but should I?????

1 Corinthians 10:23:
Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything builds up.

The scriptures here are telling us that some things can tear you up.  My advice, please refrain from those things.

Please eat well and exercise.  A healthy you is a blessing.  A blessed you means you can bless others.  The power of loving yourself!

Song of the Week - Hallelujah! Sing a New Song to GOD. Sing HIS praise in the assembly of godly people. Psalm 149:1.

"Comforter" 2025, Imrhan

A Caribbean song for the Pentecost season.

Freely You Have Received, Freely Give

Good Son-day Morning!!! enjoying 70's Nothing But Good News here. Hanging with My Axe'd Freely You Have Received, Freely Give Many economists are predicting a recession is in the making.  Quick lesson, a recession is defined as two straight quarters of negative value of goods and services produced in the USA (GDP, Gross Domestic Product). Other indicators like employment rates, business investment, and consumer spending also are considered.  A recession causes hardships for almost everyone, especially those whose income is below the Federal Poverty Level (for an individual, $967/month, and a couple, $1,450/month). During the holidays, the public has a more heightened sense towards the needs of impoverished people.  For the other 10 months of the year, less so.  There is a serious struggle for food shelves, clothing resources, and shelters to meet the demands of impoverished people.  I have seen this in my visits to the many community resources in the metro...
