Did you know?

I found this video to be informative...

... and a little unnerving.

The times certainly are changing... just like Bob Dylan wrote in 1963.
And don't criticize, what you can't understand, for the times they are a-changin'.

Jazzercise

I recently joined a jazzercise class. We meet Wednesday nights 7 - 8 and Saturday mornings 9 - 10 and do an aerobic workout to a variety of music. It's a great time to connect with friends and of course not having to excercise alone, makes it alot more fun.

The first couple of classes I found myself looking at the clock counting down to when we would be done as I found it (the class) to be quite exhausting. I was quite excited last week when I found myself again looking at the clock but this time hoping it wouldn't soon be over.

Our instructor Val is awesome. She clearly explains each new step of each routine and she gently reminds people to take things at their own pace. She shows both high & low impact for each of the different steps.

I had been finding it hard to keep motivated to walk even with the help from my dog this winter, so by joining this class - I've been able to keep myself accountable to staying in shape with

Groundhog Day

I love this movie. Not only is it hilariously funny, but it gives deeper meaning to relationships.

In the film, Bill Murray plays Phil Connors, an egocentric Pittsburgh TV weatherman who, during a hated assignment covering the annual Groundhog Day event (February 2) in Punxsutawney, finds himself repeating the same day over and over again. After indulging in all manner of hedonistic pursuits, he begins to reexamine his life and priorities.

As he relives this day over and over again, he starts to invest his life into the lives of the townspeople he encounters, (learning their likes & dislikes, takes piano lessons, learns to speak french) his attitude towards them changes.

Isn't that what life is about? Knowing and caring for each other.

I'm sure no one would want to relive a specific day (even if we could) over and over again to learn that lesson. We only get one chance at this life and the time we take to invest into peoples lives can have eternal effects.

In Matthew 29: 40 it says "I (Jesus) tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
