on sword fighting

i only played wii -
sword fighting -
for fifteen minutes
but
i played hard
(made it to
level four!)
now,
my upper body is
only accustomed
to things like
stirring
typing
gesturing
so today?
i feel as sore as
i did after the
head-on collision of 2008.
paul talks about
sword fighting
in ephesians 6 -
...put on the full armor of God,
so that when the day of evil comes,
you may be able to
stand your ground,
and after you have done
everything,
to
stand.
...take the helmet of salvation
and the
sword of the Spirit,
which is the
word
of
God.

i think i'm going to
take up
sword fighting
even if it
does
make me sore

high, worthwhile, and attainable goals

Goals for the snowy weekend:

• Make soup. Duh. That's required here in the south, anyway.
• Pass the black dog on a Wii Fit island run.
• Say yes to Jack when he requests snow cream for breakfast.
• Write something witty.
• Write something professional. My shoulders slumped when I typed that. They understand me.
• Figure out why my Christmas cactus is blooming. Again. She bloomed in October as well. How cheerful. How hopeful. How naive.
• Learn a lesson from my Christmas cactus.
