Great quote (about something I can relate to)

Dr. Thomas Fuller, an English churchman who lived in the 1600’s, wrote:

“I discover an arrant laziness in my soul. For when I am to read a chapter in the Bible, before I begin I look where it ends. And if it ends not on the same side, I cannot keep my hands from turning over the leaf, to measure the length on the other side; if it swells to many verses, I begin to grudge. Surely my heart is not rightly affected. Were I truly hungry after heavenly food, I would not complain of meat. Scourge, Lord, this laziness of my soul; make the reading of your Word, not a penance, but a pleasure to me; so I may esteem that chapter in your Word the best which is the longest” (Rev. Dr. Thomas Fuller, quoted by Sterling W. Sill: The Quest for Excellence, p. 139).

Summer goals

My summer goals are not too ambitious. There's a lot of reading and seminary-involved tasks. Next week Glen will be out of town with the Scouts and then 2 weeks later he'll be gone with them again, so I thought I'd better come up with a plan.

While Glen's gone the first time:
     Paint our bedroom--pick a new color? (while marathon watching JAG and Doctor Who)
     Repaint the 2 white stripes in the dining room

The second time:
     Repaint our bathroom--pick new colors

And then regular summer goals:

Read:
     The New Testament
     "The Inevitable Apostasy" by Tad R. McAllister
     Some mysteries

Seminary:
     Take online teacher training lessons
     Turn all 160 lessons into word programs

Play lots of games

Goals I've already completed:
     Update the scrapbook
     Weed front and side flower beds (Glen was on trek)
     Read "The Infinite Atonement" by Tad R. McAllister
     Clean out filing cabinets
   

summer scripture reading

Your Goal: Read Matthew 1 - Revelations 22 by August 14, 2016

You need to read 2.9 chapters/day or 4.5 pages/day to finish the New Testament by August 14, 2016.

recommendations from new exercising studies

The Right Dose of Exercise for a Longer Life

 http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/04/15/the-right-dose-of-exercise-for-a-longer-life/?_r=0

The sweet spot for exercise benefits, however, came among those who tripled the recommended level of exercise [150 minutes/week], working out moderately, mostly by walking, for 450 minutes per week, or a little more than an hour per day. Those people were 39 percent less likely to die prematurely than people who never exercised.

At that point, the benefits plateaued, the researchers found, but they never significantly declined....

 Anyone who is physically capable of activity should try to “reach at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week and have around 20 to 30 minutes of that be vigorous activity."
