Morning before the storm

Today , being Monday morning, started tired and very out of it. The bright side is the thunderstorm rumbling and promise of summer on the horizon the week could not start better. This summer has many promises and set priorities that will be life changing and the regular for my life. One will be the internship that will take place, for my major Pastoral Ministry,  at Christian Chapel Assembly of God. I am looking forward to what it holds and the opportunities that will come out of it. An other opportunity will be my job. I am a pool cleaner with that job comes many detailed things that take place. Making sure the chemicals are correct, turning off the hose,so the pool will not overflow, and long hours in the beating sun. It pays well;nevertheless, I will keep it. The promises is spending time with family, hours at the beach , and long hours in gym. So until then school is still in secession and life is on go!

lifting techniques / ministry

Working out or going to the gym consist of a lot of things to be on target for getting into shape. I have 6 years experience along with research and other colleagues that have given advice along the way. First thing whether a beginner or a 10 year veteran, form is key when benching, curling, or squatting. To many guys go in in ready to over lift and make a full of themselves not able to finish the set. Lifting what light is good to build the proper form. A foundation has to be set before muscle mass or tone is going to be developed. Second thing is technique is the movement of the motion in the process of exercising. Starting off with the right technique will the world of difference in the long run. When it comes time to move up in weight nothing will be compromised , like pulled muscles, torn ligaments , and correct form patterns. When a form and technique is developed not a sense of accomplishment happens , but people will ask benching weight and how to lift for themselves. I have been asked to train over 20 people on campus and after a few secessions something clicks and they realize they can do it themselves. This past fall semester I had three people that went to the gym with me. Sure they could come , yet I spent more time working with them and really had no time for myself. I had to have my personal time lifting and working out so I could further myself to be a better benefit for the people that went with me 3 times a week. Ministry is like this. We need to train people in the right form and technique and still have personal time to be strengthened ourselves. The better we train and are fit for the mission at task , so will our people we lead.

Titus

     Titus one of Paul's young ministers and missionary assisted. Titus a gentile went with Paul, God called by God, help deliver letters and like timothy given the responsibility of training leaders to be established in the local Church of Crete and Dalmatia. Titus went to Corinth with the letters Paul wrote to this Church. He also traveled and served in Ephesus too alongside Barnabas and Paul. The Jews wanted Titus to be circumcised Paul refused to let him go through this. The letter written was during 66-67 A.D. Titus was given a description of the type leaders to be put in place of the local church. Titus had and Timothy both has similar letters and are gentiles preparing lay leaders in the Church. Titus, Paul writes in the beginning of the first chapter that he is like a son to him in the faith. It is pretty cool to think that Paul would give a recommendation to the body about Titus. This shows the faith and heart and worth of Titus to Paul. As a young man of God Titus must have proved himself strong in the faith bearing a name like this, as a son in the faith. The task of serving with Paul was big. Paul demanded a lot when working and proclaiming the message of Jesus. Paul did not want weak faith people working with him. In the book of Acts, John Mark gets kicked off the first missionary trip. Paul played no games. Later though Paul wants John Mark back and writes he is of great use to him and his ministry. Paul took Titus on his third mission to Crete and kept him in for use. Titus had an experience with God that kept him through the course of ministry. God used Titus and took his experience with Christ and kept passionately pursuing him.
