Laugh for The Day!

The Bernie memes started from this photo taken at the inauguration. 

There have been so many memes. These are just a few. 

“On Earth As It Is In Heaven”

I’m currently reading On Earth As It Is In Heaven by C. Peter Wagner. If Christian’s can find a copy I highly recommend reading this book. I’m including an excerpt from the book. There are many Christians that believe that our faith is separate from what we do when it comes to politics in our votes. Christians are divided on this issue when we shouldn’t be. It’s why we are where we are today and why evil is reigning when it shouldn’t be. I urge you to read the excerpt in the picture below. It’s my prayer that we Christians will get on the same page so we can be the change that God expects us to be in our nation.

We have to vote people into office where their policy stance most lines up with God’s Word. When we vote contrary to what lines up with the Word of God we are being hypocritical. There’s no other way to slice or dice that. It’s just the truth. 

God can use anyone as a vessel whether they are an actual Christ follower or not. Let’s pay more attention moving forward in making sure that the candidate’s we support that their stance(s) most line up with God’s Word and the values our country was founded on before casting our votes. Being a hypocrite is not a legacy that we want to leave behind for our loved ones. We can’t claim be Christian’s or to love God and His Word and then do things in our lives, including voting, that are contrary to our beliefs and values. Let’s make sure they line up!  How else will we be able to be a true witness for Christ otherwise???  

I have a family member, who is very liberal, a staunch Democrat, that once said that real Christian’s don’t vote the way I do. They knew enough about Christianity and God’s Word to know that those beliefs are separate from the way they live their life and the candidate’s that they support. Now that should be an eye opener for so many Christian’s who support candidate’s that don’t line up with God’s Word. Our country won’t see real lasting change until we put more focus on God’s Word being the deciding factor in our votes for candidates. That is as plain and simple as it gets. Voting God/The Bible = Voting for real lasting change!  God kind of change!  

2022 will be coming fast. Pray for God’s Candidate’s who have backbone to be voted into office. And if they claim it but don’t show it in their stance(s) once in office then we need to be sure they are voted out next round. Eventually we will get candidate’s in office that will have backbone and will make the real changes needed for our nation to get back to the values our founding father’s founded it on and values that most line up with God’s Word!  Pray as never before and really pay attention to the values that candidate’s represent. Above all be sure whoever you support that their values, for the most part, line up with God’s Word. The only way we’d ever see someone in office that represents “all” godly values would be for Jesus himself to be running for office and we know that’s not going to happen. Candidate’s that represent godly values matters!

Pic From Saturday’s Training with the Team

T sure is loving being back with the team. The energy is so great with the new team. T’s coach making this change was a really good thing. The kids are always telling one another good job. They are helping one another be better fighters. We love seeing such awesome teamwork. It’s just a better atmosphere all around. T’s working hard on getting his distance where it needs to be.  Having hardly sparred for almost a year it’s been nice to see the kids getting back into the swing of things. 

Sparring Training 1/23/2021

The good, the bad, and the ugly of sparring training this past Saturday. Learning is a hard lesson when you are in a fighting sport. Not always fun but T is making so many improvements. It may be a bit before the video is live. Here’s the link for when it’s been processed:

Growing and More Growing

This boy has done quite a bit of growing since last year this time and he’s still in a growth spurt😳🙄. 

Last Night’s Training

T’s training session ended early last night with one of his coaches so he did a video training session with his other coach. That one was a lot tougher because it was working his hip muscles in ways he’s not worked them before. He loves training but hates the soreness that comes when using muscle groups he’s not used in a while or at all. #forwardmotion #workinghard #accomplishinggoals 

Training Video

I put together a training video from last weekend to share with you. I’m sure it is still processing on the new video site I’m using so try back later to actually watch it. I’m going to go ahead and share the link now though.

Something to know with rumble is that if you want to leave a comment you can do so just below the video. You might have to make an account in order to actually comment I’m not sure 🤔. Just wanted to encourage you to leave encouraging comments though. T is working so hard right now. He’s putting more effort in then we’ve ever seen and he’s doing it while dealing with Osgood-Schaffer’s as well. 

2019 Great Memories of a Great Year!

This memory video popped up on my phone today so I thought I’d share it with you.

T Update

Today T went in for his regular chiropractor appointment and got adjusted. Since going back to full time sparing training he’s done good with staying in adjustment but earlier today he twisted a weird way while training and popped a couple places in his left knee out. It was great that he had his adjustment today because we were able to address the misalignment quickly so he can get right back to training and not miss a beat. He’s making such strides right now and he’s hoping and praying that the team can get back to competing soon. It remains to be seen of what will and will not be allowed by our government officials though. He really misses competing. 

We have T on a daily protocol for the Osgood-Schlatters in his knees and he’s doing much better because of it. We are so thankful for the right people in his life to help him deal with things as needed. We are also so thankful for those that have been willing to work with our crazy schedule to help our son be at his best.  That is more appreciated than words could ever adequately express. 

Dr. Bill at Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic and his staff are such an instrumental part of keeping our son where he can continue forward motion as an elite athlete. So thankful for them. I can’t say enough great things about this chiropractor and his team. 

Anyhow, we are so proud of all this kiddo is accomplishing. He’s such a good kid and so driven at such a young age.

Team Training Yesterday

T’s second team training session since the plandemic (as we like to call it). He’s improving so much and now as he actually gets to spar with his team we are really seeing the difference. Click on the link and check it out a video we got of him training with one of his teammates.
