Workout- Plyometrics
Bible Reading- Joshua 1-14
With the encouragement of my wife, I was able to roll myself out of bed this morning and do my workout. I still broke a sweat but addmittedly, it was a lackluster effort at times. Some days I'm just more motivated than others.
Today I started the book of Joshua. Joshua is successor to Moses as the leader of the Israelites. He has been entrusted with the task of running out all of the people groups that currently live in the land that God has promised to the Israelites. I have a little trouble here with these sections because it seems so brutal. I know that God says that all of the people they are killing off are corrupt idol worshippers who are capable of unspeakable evil, but it still seems a little much. Is it necessary to actually kill them? Can't God just run them out himself? It just reveals the wrath of God and I have a hard time picturing it. I much prefer the "buddy god" or "grandpa god". I don't like to see God as one who is angry. These passages definitely help me to have a more well rounded vision of who God is. We should all have a healthy fear of God as well as abounding love for Him. After all, he wouldn't get angry with us, if he didn't first love us.

Why am I doing this?
I have found that I am in need of a project. I also have several goals that seem to be nagging me lately. 1. I need to get in shape. Although round is a shape, it's not so much what I am looking for. 2. I need to read the Bible more. It has yet to become a vital foundation to my faith on a consistent basis. 3. I would like to write more. It's something I greatly enjoy, but simply do not make time for it.
So I have decided to take the next 90 days to simultaneously complete the P90X fitness challenge, Read the Bible in 90 Days, and Blog about my entire experience. Viola! This condenses all three goals into a single project.
