Why Christian Gradient?

Why Christian Gradient? I have no idea LOL. If it is a question of the name ... well, it is because I believe that we, in the flesh, tend to see ourselves that way like we are on some type of level of measurement. I know when I think about all my faults that I find I am sorely lacking. I have to keep reminding myself that God does not see me like that. He loves me for loving him enough to want to be with him by accepting Jesus into my life. Sometimes, I cannot understand that.

Now, why now? I feel that God has wanted me to do something for a long time and I have been purposely ignoring him. However, there is a point when you just can't keep ignoring God. He makes sure of it. I am at that point. It took a lot of hurt, anger, pain, and time to realize that, but it is crystal clear to me. This is just one of the ways that I am trying to stay true to his calling.

Let me be honest, I have no idea what that means. He has just pointed me in a direction and this time, I am choosing not to turn from it. I do not know where it is going to lead me or what the journey is going to be like or what I am supposed to do when I get there. I just know I have to start going his way instead of mine. He has had enough of me going my way, let me tell you.

I am worried that I will not be able to live up to the task (whatever that may be) so I am starting this blog to shift my focus and keep me honest. I certainly hope that you will join me in my daily quest to live Christ-like.

The good news is that you have a sense of direction. It's the road that not to many people want to travel. Why? Because it's not fun. It's work. It is asking to give up certain things that you think you can not live without but like any habit once you get use to it you'll wonder why you haven't walk down this path a long time ago. God is a mystery but it's all good.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity. This is the key to workout regimen because it warms up muscles, builds them up, and acts as a lactic acid conditioner. By building up a lactic acid tolerance, muscles become stronger while building up someone's endurance. When applying this kind of aerobic training to the human body, the pyramid system is a base model for the workout routine.
