Brain Dump

What would Jesus do? According to many Christians, Jesus would wear a mask.

Wait...what?

Remember the lepers? Society shunned the lepers and forced them into isolation and colonies separate from the rest of society. Jesus healed them anyway.

The woman with an issue of blood was required, by law, to remain separate from others. She touched Jesus' robe. Jesus healed her anyway.

Those who committed adultery were stoned to death. Jesus saved the woman caught in adultery anyway and told her to go and sin no more.

The dead were considered unclean. Jesus raised them anyway.

In fact, the only thing Jesus tossed out were demons.

Jesus healed people and brought them back into society. He didn't shun anyone, except demons. He didn't turn anyone away, except demons. He didn't force anyone into isolation; He sent demons into swine. He broke societal rules left and right. He included all those society shunned. He even chose a disciple who was a tax collector. Gasp!

What would Jesus do? Jesus wouldn't wear a mask. Jesus would heal the sick and afflicted.

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

86. Love Once More (The Abundance series book 4) by Sally Bayless contemporary Christian romance. Another two-for, two romance stories intertwined. Loved it.

The purpose of science is to prove the experts wrong.

Sadly, the world has become a place where science is a religion instead of science.

Those who decry the existence of God have simply replaced Him with science, but they replaced perfection with imperfection. They replaced the One who created science with His creation. They praise the clay pot while deriding the potter.

God created science to help us learn about the world He created for us.
