change ... motivation

If I told some guy that he had to kiss & hug his wife & tell her he loved her every day for a year - then he would get $100,000 - he would do it ... but we don't do the things that we want to do - unless there is some motivation ... 
for me - I have enough issues to choose from but let's just pick weight ... you know ... to complete the over-disclosure that I so willingly discharge on all who will participate ... anyhooo ... if I knew I would get $100,000 in december if I lost 30 pounds I would do it ... why can't I do it for the wife & kids I adore ... my contention is that it is a amalgamation  of fallen decrepit bodies & spiritual issues - the synthesis of a nefarious body / intellect / spirit - with pride as the icing on top, this makes for a deadly composite ... I am always drawn to Romans 7 in the Bible when we read about the body & the spirit at war ... so - as always ... another in progress sanctification issue

Brad - I just want you to know just how special you are... Joe NEVER comments on my blog and when asked he told me he doesn't comment on blogs (AKA stalking), but then he tells me about your blog and I read and I read comments and what do I find... a comment left by Joe! Hmm, how do I rate! :)
