Soda Pop or Water?

They say drinking water is good for you. Some say 8-10 glasses a day. Some say half your body weight in ounces a day( can one drink that much??!) but when I used to drink a lot of soda pop water just tasted blah,boring even yucky. So what was I to do? I had to purposely drink water even when it wasn't pleasant and to be able to drink water I had to drink less pop. Something happened over time...now I LIKE even PREFER water over pop. In fact pop doesn't taste very good to me now. That reminds me my walk with the Lord. If I've been spending lots of time watching tv and movies even great fiction I get this taste for it and want it more and more and more and then when I do spend time in the Word it can seem blah and boring. I've redeveloped my taste for "soda pop" instead of "Water". Refreshing life giving water . So once again I need to purposefully drink water even when the taste for it isn't there temporarily. That's what's been going on with me lately and slowly my taste for cool ,clean refreshing water is returning Ahhh. Pray for me. Oh and spent the time I was cleaning the kitchen and bathroom today catching up listening to my Bible after I'd committed to listening to it this year and was behind like 8 or 9 days and it's only the 14th! Jonathon reminded me of it this weekend just by his mentioning that he'd been listening to his while he walked on his treadmill. Thanks bro- do we need each other or what!

Happy New Year!


2008- Can you believe it? Here's a Christmas picture with my family at my Sissy's house. My twin sister, her husband and kids, my Mom and hubby.
May this year be filled with eternal things. Things that last. That we will be glad of when we're 80. That will receive a "Well Done" when we stand before the King of Kings.
In case anyone is interested and you want to listen to the Bible through in a year and you have itunes you can subscribe to a podcast of it called 1-Year Bible On Radio Podcast-there are others also- (detailed instructions-open up iTunes then click on "iTunes store". Then up in the right hand corner there is a search box. Type in "1-Year Bible On Radio Podcast". When it comes up you can click on "Subscribe" and it will download them into the "Podcast" area of the iTunes program right under where you click to see your music. After that you can listen to it on the computer or download to your iPod. High speed connection recommended ). to read online here is a link to have the Scripture email to you daily- you choose the version . It's free like all I list but you do have to register. Another site to get a 12 month plan or read online is this one.
I know there are many other sites and plans ranging from the whole bible in three year to Bible in 90 days to just NT or overviews etc. Just do an Internet search for "Bible Reading Plans".
