Right up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. My pushups are against the wall.

Using 1, 2, and/or 4-lb weights:

PT ~ Physical therapy

UBP ~ Upper body exercises, pushups, and chair sits against the wall

SEALFit shared some good hints I want to learn and remember:

Are you ready for Halloween?

Secondhand Samhain 

The seventh novella in the series...

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Jan Connor, the new manager of the secondhand shop Vintage Holiday, loves her job, her town, and her life. She doesn't need anything except a little bit of help. Her annual Halloween birthday party isn't coming together, and her antiquated computer system is only making it worse.

Trent McDonald, computer guru extraordinaire, is looking for a place to call home. His brother, Cowboy, suggested Holiday might offer what he needs but never mentioned Vintage Holiday's pretty shop manager.

Between one breath and the next, God changes everything...

Brain Dump

This was posted on a friend's social media. I politely chose not to respond. They're allowed to believe what they want. I'm not the thought police. I needed to explore each topic, to explain to myself what I believe and why:

15. I believe that women should not be treated as a separate class of human. They should be paid the same as men who do the same work, should have the same rights as men and should be free from abuse. Why on earth shouldn’t they be?

If you're chastising America, you're talking to the wrong audience. Feel free to address the majority of the world.

This whole men/women wage discrepancy has been debunked, over and over again. For example, they found that in San Diego, women made more than men.

Women have the same rights. They vote, drive, work, own property...

Both women and men should be free from abuse, but many people are abusive. That isn't a gender specific problem.

Are there exceptions? Of course. I've seen men discriminate against women. I've seen women discriminate against men. I've seen men discriminate against men. I've seen women discriminate against women.

What is your plan to change this? More laws? Laws already exist against discrimination. Adding more laws is only adding more laws. More laws means more government. More government never solved anything.
