Last day of the month...more boring fitness

Stuff. Just to keep myself honest. The month of August saw 4,200 pushups; 260 pullups; 400 KB swings; and four sprint sessions and just some other running sessions for the fun of it. Ended up buying an Apple Watch with blow money this month, and was delighted to find out it reads VO2Max. According to that, during my sprint running, I ended up with 43.4 VO2Max, which according to the charts I consulted on the internet puts my oxygen capacity at average for an 18 year old, but top of the line for a nearly 60 year old. Love this workout routine and am so glad I finally found it, after floundering a bit when I started working from home. http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeedonsBlog * This article was originally published here

Catechesis: Third Petition of the Our Father

For our flesh is in itself lazy and inclined to evil, even though we have accepted and believed God’s Word. —LC III.53 If we would be Christians, therefore, we must surely expect and count on having the devil with all his angels and the world as our enemies.... For where God’s Word is preached, accepted, or believed and produces fruit, there the holy cross cannot be missing.—LC III:65 The test is to be steadfast and to suffer with patience in whatever way we are assaulted, and to let go whatever is taken from us.—LC III:66 Look, we have in these three petitions, in the simplest way, the needs that relate to God Himself. Yet they are all for our sakes.—LC III:68 http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeedonsBlog * This article was originally published here

Catechesis: First Petition

Hallowed be Thy name. For God’s name was given to us when we became Christians and were baptized. LC III:37 Since we call God our Father in this prayer, it is our duty to act and behave ourselves as godly children, that He may not receive shame, but honor and praise through us. LC III:39 God’s name is profaned when people preach, teach, and say in God’s name what is false and misleading. LC III:41 God’s name is profaned by an openly wicked life and works. LC III:43 In this petition we pray for exactly what God demands in the Second Commandment. LC III:45 To hallow means the same as to praise, magnify, and honor both in word and deed.
