I saw these commercial while watching the NBA playoffs and thought I would share them with you. What I find interesting is that a lot of money has been spent to hype Kobe and Lebron would make it to the NBA finals. The Lakers our tied 1-1 with the Nuggets and the Cavs are down 1 game to the Magic. Now I know the series aren’t over yet and Kobe and Lebron are both amazing players and it still might be a Kobe Lebron NBA Final I still wonder what if they don’t. Things that make you go hummmm…………………….

So with summer right around the corner I thought I would share 2 events that I’m looking forward too. The first is One Prayer it starts this June just click the banner for more info. The second is Don’t Waste Your Life Tour

From time to time I like to share music that I’m rockn’ out to. This week its a video by Canton Jones “I call him G.O.D.”
I hope you enjoy!

Jesus wouldn’t sugar coat. Sorry he wouldn’t I didn’t say he would be mean or rude or not do things in love. I said he wouldn’t sugar coat. Truth is we don’t do people any favors when we sugar coat things for them. Think about it if you had a friend with a drug problem.
What would you do?
a. Tell them it’s no big deal. it’s not as bad as it seems they just going thru a phase
b. Tell them they are worth less and good for nothing and there is no help for them
c. You love them but they have a problem and they need help and you will do all you can to help them out
d. Ignore it and hope it goes away.

Stop sugar coating things you are not doing friends and family any favors. Think of all the people who sugar coated things for you and how it didn’t help you out.

I don’t believe in pain management. Call it what it what you want but I’m not doing it. When my doctor called to tell the results of My MRI He said he was going to refer me to a pain management specialist. I refuse to believe this is something I will live with the rest of my. I’ve spent the past few days researching everything there is to know about herniated disc. Now I am no doctor but I tell you this if you thinks I am just go do pain management you don’t know me but most of all you don’t know the power of the one true God . Thanks for listening I just wanted to vent for a quick minute.

The Doctor called yesterday with the results of my MRI…………. So I have a ruptured disc or herniated disc. Not sure how it happen, I guess the specialist will tell me more. So for now it’s more rest. Interesting how things just happen out of know where. The stupid thing is on Wednesday I went to work before I heard what doctor had to say. I guess I’m just not very patient when it comes to that. So I felt better and was tired of just laying around in the bed. Yet as the day went along it got worse and instead listening to what my body was telling me I was be stupid. I think it’s important that we not ignore the warning sign of our body or friends and family. It got to be so bad I had to call my wife to come pick me up and them have friends carry me to the car.

One year ago at this time I could bench press 385 lbs. Now this is nowhere near the world record not even close, yet a lot more than the average person. That was a year ago, right now I bench less than 300. What happen you ask…. Simple I wasn’t working out as hard I changed up my workout started a new career it took some time before I got my routine back on track (To be honest about 6 months). I use to be on strict schedule never missed a workout. I always pushed myself, I set goals. As a personal trainer I know all the insides and out of living fit and training. People pay me to help them get in shape. Now yes I still worked out (at least once a week) and looked fit but I wasn’t where I use to be or even where I could have been. I know this happens to all of us in some aspects of life maybe it’s going to college or starting a business or any goals you are trying to accomplish. There are distractions in life things happen. In life even to maintain what we have, we have to work at it. If I want to keep benching almost 400lbs I have to work at it. Whether it’s your mind, body or relationships with spouses, friends or children. Even your position at work just because you were good on the first year doesn’t mean now you can slack off and exspect the same results it doesn’t work like that. The same is true with our relationship with Christ. Yes we may look the part or every once in awhile spend time with him. Are we being consistent, are we growing in Christ or we being distracted by the things of this world.

My back hurts not sure why but it hurts. It hurts to sit, it hurts to stand. I went to work this weekend I walked around like an 89 year old man at a snail’s pace. I finial went home early. Friends and family told me to go see a doctor but if you know anything about me I’m not a fan of that. So if you know my wife she made me an appointment and held me at gun point to make sure I would go. It was all out of love. So this morning I went to the doctor. It wasn’t as bad I thought it would be but I’m pretty sure my wife warned him. The Doc gave me some drugs and steroid shoot in my rear and he has me schedule for an MRI tomorrow sounds like fun. Last time this happen I was laid up in bed for almost a week. It’s all so the time when I started writing my blog. I don’t enjoy the pain but I have a lot of time to think and meditate on God and what he is doing in my life. Thank you all for the prayers, I’ll let you know what the Doc says after the MRI.

God truly blessed me with a wonderful mother. Every time someone asks who was the biggest influence in your life I always say my mother. She truly is a loving one who did everything to make sure that she raised me to know who my identity in Christ is. She showed me unconditional love in every way. My mom truly is a Proverbs 31 lady. So to you Mom I say thank you so much. I know I don’t call or visit as often as I should but know I love you so much. Thanks …… Mom I love you.
