Broken Rebounder

Workout Log 011, 99 Days Out

Few of us reach the age of 40 without life leaving us with scars and bags full of emotionally charged regrets. I can see this in others only because I have much of both myself. The forgiveness in Christ Jesus frees us from condemnation, but the consequences remain to be dealt with. No longer condemned for our past sins, but this doesn’t cancel out the principle of sowing and reaping. Sow an action and reap a cooresponding consequence. How I wish I had been smart enough to have known this long ago. I would have done many things differently, and a lot of things not at all.

People can become like my broken rebounder in the picture above. I took it from my neighbor’s trash. Unwanted, used, abuse, and destined for the landfill. Life will certainly hand out unexpected bumps and bruises, but unlike my broken rebounder, people can be fixed and bounce back even stronger for it. It isn’t God’s desire that any suffer. If however, He does permits the redeemed to suffer, it is for the purpose defined in Romans 5:3-4. It doesn’t matter how many of your Humpty Dumpys have had a great fall, turn to God, and He will enable you to deal with the broken pieces. I believe this, I’ve done this, and I have finally learned to bounce with greater care.

Mid-AM Workout

Stopped as I was writing this post. The thought crossed my mind that I some the time, and lots of other easy work I could add in today. So, here’s what I did:

PLANNED	ACTUAL	COMMENTS
Start/Finish – not really planned at all	9:01-9:37am
Stationary Bike	15 mins
Tai-chi	about 10 mins	A little more controlled compared to yesterday. Still unsteady on one leg and the lungs. I may need to find a perfectly flat surface to use until I get my tai-chi legs back.
