Does this happen to anyone else?
Ya get back from working out, and are getting ready to get in the shower.
But when you try to take your shirt off, you only get it up over your head before it gets stuck
because of all the sweat so you're stuck with your head inside the shirt with the unholiest stink ever. So you're holding your breath and desperately trying to tug the thing off and end up falling to the floor.
Does that happen to anyone else every single day or am i doing something wrong?
HELP ME!!
I don't want my obituary to include the words "...trying to remove his shirt"

At the risk of sounding retarded...
I don't get Lent.
Well, I do. Kinda.
I see all the things people choose to give up, like:
caffeine, sugar, desserts, facebook, tv, etc.
It makes me think that maybe we all need a little more discipline in our lives.
If these things play such a role in our lives that it's a sacrifice to give them up,
then maybe what we need in the first place is discipline.
I suppose the purpose of fasting is to honor God, be reminded of Him, and spend that time with Him.
But if we were disciplined in our lives, we could have make Him a priority and have extra time with Him all year!
Forty days is great, but after the 40 days, you're right back where you started, over-indulging in these things.
If you aren't wasting your time on these things but you're undisciplined, then you're just going to find something else that wastes your time.
Especially with the facebook, internet, tv fasts. Generally if you fast from one, it just means you spend more time with one of the others.
It seems we would be better served if we would be purposeful and discerning about what we engage in the rest of the year so that nothing would play such a big role in our lives that it's hard to give up for the sake of Christ. He's better than all these things, ya know?
So many of us don't realize where our time goes and how we spend it.
So many of us don't moderate what we eat and drink.
If we paid attention, then we wouldn't overindulge in even the good things, and it would be easier to hear His sweet voice.
....or whatever.
what the crap would I-I know?!
I'm just a mostly-retarded,know-nothing, self-seeking, Bible-school dropout!

The Art of Breaking
Ah, so this is what breaking feels like. I'd forgotten.
I'm ready for it to be made into something beautiful on the other side.
Faith feels like just murder. These little deaths keep hurting.
