Day 38

Day 38

Three days to go and I had a great Monday.  Tuesday is going to be a long day, but I am prepared. I made a tasty concoction last evening for lunch today.  I have discovered on the days I don’t each much protein, I struggle. I have been trying to increase my protein intake and reduce my fast carbohydrate intake.  Looking back on my last rough spot, I didn’t eat much protein at all and I made the mistake of eating too much of a good thing. Fluid intake is much better and I didn’t have quite as many slips.  So I am pumped for the next 3, let’s see what happens!

On Thursdays, the coaches at my school get together at 6 AM and have a Bible study.  We are studying Ephesians this time.  As I am reading Eph 2:1-10 it hits me like a ton of bricks.  I now know why vampire and zombie movie and TV shows are such a hit.  They are an analogy of us.  The living dead, sounds a lot like an oxymoron. Without Christ in our lives, we are zombies. We are walking around dead. God created us with different parts, a physical part and a spiritual part.  Death is the separation of these two parts.  Adam and Eve died twice.  They had the spiritual death from sin and then a physical death.  God in human form, Christ, died because he had a physical body, but his spirit rejoined his body after resurrection. 

I am going to look around for zombies today. Unlike movies, I am going to try to kill zombies not with a shot gun, but with Gods word. Salvation is just that, saving people from death. I have said it before, eternal life begins not at death but when we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. I do believe we may have some zombie Christians.  We get the fire insurance and then go sit on a log.  I got saved at 13 and haven’t done what I should have for the lord. I know when I die I am going to heaven, but with what to show? We do things in life for 2 reasons: 1 because we have to, 2 because we enjoy it.  I love to coach. I have coached many seasons with out getting paid.  Do I enjoy working for the Lord?  Or do I serve Him because I have to?
