werkout notes

 little slow today -- my chest still hurts when I push too hard. :( anyway, 2.25 miles in 30 minutes, tho I ended up on the pre-cor for 33 minutes distracted by the television.

Back exercises -- havent found all the machines at the new gym, but did pulldowns and rows.

Now to try and get an appt for a massage, my neck and shoulders really could use it.

Thanks to everyone who thinks my new userpic is hot -- amazing what real deep joy can do! :)

religious question

I'll have to ask my folks about this one, but...

I was flipping thru the various tv channels at the gym today, and was trapped at one talking about some version of evangelical Christianity. The comment on the screen was "People have been taught not to expect results from what they sow," which reminded me of a phrase "As you sow, so shall you reap,".

But I listened to the guy for a bit and he seemed like he was talking about how to "get stuff from God,"

which confused me. Maybe this is really one of the bigger differences in how I was raised -- we were taught that you didnt 'get stuff' from God, you didnt 'expect' stuff from God and there were no rewards promised other then movement up the ladder in future lives. The Gita is all about living your life without expectations, without attachment to the _result_, but living in the moment according to your duty.

Amma always said, "Dont pray for things, or results. Pray for the strength you need to do what is necessary,"

So anyone more familiar with Christianity, any comments on using sowing and reaping for personal gain vs some other kind of gain?

whew...

most of my clothes are unpacked. :)
