Life on Snow Hill

A lot of preachers I’ve heard will always try to come up with a catchy title for a message around New Year’s Day.  To ‘Toe the Line‘ can mean a few different things, but one thing they all seem to have in common is that there is a strong presence of discipline involved.

Some of you, my loyal readers, will disagree with most of what I say here, so this is your fair warning.

Barack Hussein Obama is the worst thing that could happen to this country.  He will take away freedoms, and he is immoral in his fundamental beliefs.  I could go on, but I don’t want to make this post about politics.  My point is that this country has elected a leader who will do as much as possible to destroy our Godly heritage.

It’s been tried before, and will likely be tried again (and probably succeed).  For example, bills have been previously introduced in the U.S. Congress that would classify preaching from the Bible that sodomy is wrong and wicked as a hate crime, punishable by jail/prison time.  None have passed yet, but I won’t be surprised to see it within the next year with a Democrat led Congress.

So, my question is, who will stand up for what the believe in the face of government opposition?  Peter and the apostles told their government that they ought to obey God rather than men.  They were beaten for their stand for Truth.  Will we change our minds?  Or will we ‘Toe the Line’ and stand, unmoveable, when the liberals begin forcing ‘acceptance’ and ‘tolerance’ on us? (Funny how they preach tolerance, but won’t tolerate a Christian stand.)

I’m usually not one to make a New Year’s resolution and really stick with it.  I did okay this year – I attempted to keep things organized.  I did well for a little while, but things easily get piled up when you don’t have a lot of storage space.

This year, I’m making one that millions of people make.  I need to lose weight.  I saw a YouTube video that a guy put together (I won’t post the video here because the guy is shirtless throughout the entire thing, and it is rather disgusting, especially at first) by taking a picture of himself every day over the course of a couple of months.  This was to document his progress as he lost weight.  He also committed to posting daily blog entries to hold himself accountable to his goal.

I’m not going to do the photo thing, because I’d really rather not post shirtless photos of myself out on the Internet for all to see.  But I do want to blog daily about my progress (or lack thereof).

My plan?  I’m not holding myself to a whole lot, but it will definitely be a start.  I want to walk every morning, maybe working myself up to a jog.  On my road, it is a mile to get to the highway, so I’ll have a good 2 mile walk if I go that far.  There is also a steep hill on the road that I would have to walk – that will help for sure.  My other thing is to start eating a little more healthy.  Maybe I need to learn to like a salad?
