It's an education

I, for one, didn't enter THE LAST DUEL for the purpose of learning anything.  I was expecting it to be interesting, and it...**kinda** was.......not really tho.  It was more irritating than anything else.  The blonde guy was clueless and paranoid, either that or downright irresponsible or both.  If there'd been more to the story than that, it'd be one thing but there didn't seem to be.
*sigh*

Uyg

 Apparently it's a respectable position that The Spirit of God, God's Spirit, etc. is the same thing as "The Holy Spirit".  What does King David mean when he says "I am grieved in my spirit"?  Is David talking about "The Unholy Spirit"?  Of course God has a spirit.  People have even proclaimed (like anyone really knows) that God is NOTHING BUT a spirit.  "The Holy Spirit" refers to the indwelling of God in mankind.  God, being a spiritual entity, and being Holy, of course, could be another way of saying The Holy Spirit.  So of course The Holy Spirit is God.  What else would The Holy Spirit be?  There's a little bit of distinction between God the father and God the son.  God the son is a different person who has the same will, same intent, same purposes as God the father.  He is different from God the father but not in any way that would make Him less worthy of worship and obedience.  However, the differentiating qualities of The Holy Spirit are not explained in nearly as much detail.  As far as I can tell there is no difference.  The only difference is the measure in which we each receive The Holy Spirit.  I don't think ANY one of us have the capacity in our bodies or minds to fully receive God the father.  His character and general attributes, both known and unknown to present day Earthlings, are too massive to fit inside of an individual human vessel.  The emphasis in scripture with The Holy Spirit is that He guides us and strengthens us to do what is required of us.  God the father is so much more than that.  Or...I guess there's a chance I'm mistaken about that.  People have said that in Heaven we'll never stop learning about God because there's just that much to learn.  If that is in fact true, The Holy Spirit is not the full sum of God.

still lazy...after all this time (!!)

 Been giving in way too easily to sinful urges still.....(sigh).  Nothing's changed on that front......no excuses, obviously......

I need to be more pro active in general.  I did pathetic in terms of physical activity yesterday and the day before.  Today I went to the food bank to volunteer and burned over 100 calories (just from cardio/walking.  I don't know what I got in from lifting stuff; I use a GPS based step counter, I don't have a fitbit or any such thing).  And for lunch I had a bunch of donuts.  They were mostly cake donuts with no frosting, although I could tell they had sugar (or some kind of quality sweetener) baked into them.  Not a great quality meal in any case...I did have a proten shake afterward to hopefully tip the scales at least closer to in-my-favor...

One positive I've noticed is I have a much smaller ratio of cancelled : fulfilled orders on my Amazon order history.  I have 102 orders that have been cancelled over the past 6 months compared to 60 that were shipped and paid for.  Those numbers used to be like 200 cancelled order and 50 fulfilled orders.  It's probably as not dramatically improved as it looks, since orders that I paid for and had to submit a return request for (refunded) are put in my "archive", which is kind of like a trashcan....
