And pray in the Spiriton all occasionswith all kinds of prayers and requests.With this in mind, be alert and always keep on prayingfor all the Lord’s people. – Ephesians 6:18 While I could opine on this subject for hours, I will narrow my focus down to the top three foods cucumbers ruin for me on a daily basis: Extreme busyness is a symptom of deficient vitality, and a faculty for idleness implies a catholic appetite and a strong sense of personal identity.”

What Does "Idle Brain is the Devil's Workshop" Mean?

What I have discovered about myself over the years is that I have a much lower heat tolerance than normal humans. Not that other people enjoy sweating. I mean, who reallywants to leak water? I just hate it the most. And the thing is, I’m a sweater. Always have been, always will be. Which means I am bravely embracing this not-so-pretty shortfall of mine every time I step outside. Guys, hold your applause; I’m not a hero...yet. There are a lot of things I can take, but being overly hot without a proper cooling mechanism is not one of them. And quite honestly, nothing drives me crazier than being hot in a place that should be properly cooled (e.g., restaurants, planes, office buildings, and really any other public place where someone else has control of the temperature). If you want to see me lose it, put me in a hot place without anyone apologizing. My normally cool and collected demeanor turns murderous in 0.2 seconds, taking rage to an 11, because really, it’s about injustice.

The phrase implies the importance of staying occupied with beneficial activities to prevent negative thoughts or actions. It serves as a reminder to use one's time wisely and productively. There are a lot of warnings about idle hands and idle talk. Idle hands bring hunger (Proverbs 19:15), cause house and family problems (Ecclesiastes 10:18) and virtually no chance for success (Eccl. 11:6).

That’s why we need to remain busy. Both physically, and mentally. But try to entertain positive thoughts instead of thinking negative, or the worst all the time.

You mean your holiday meal was store-bought this year? I couldn't imagine not cooking it myself; slaving away in the kitchen just brings me so much joy."

It’s officially my favorite time of year: FALL. Some of you reading this may think this post is coming in a bit late, as it’s already mid-October, but if you live in Houston, Texas, you know that we are only just now getting our first taste of the fall season. Paul is saying be careful who you spend your time with. They will influence you. Truly, there are some people in your life that you just need to cut off. They are not good influences on you. The deception here comes when you think you can handle it. You tell yourself they aren’t that bad. Or, they may do that stuff, but I won’t. And don't you let them lure you in with their fancy, multi-colored robes (also known as wings) to get you to help them up - I'm hip to their game. We can't let allow this laziness continue. The only way to win is to keep ignoring them. Then, if it's really important, they can quit being lazy, grow hands and start holding up signs. Some of you are reading this thinking to yourselves, "C'mon, they're not thatbad; you hardly notice them." WRONG. They are everywhere. And they taste awful. You DO notice them, and you know how I know?? Because they make every food I like taste disgusting.

These are all lies and deceptions. And Satan is a master liar and a master deceiver. Who you associate with matters, so watch who you are hanging out with. If your shark villain is going to have a distinguishing scar, do not make it a lightning bolt on its forehead, a la Harry Potter.This week, I've decided to dedicate my post to one of the true loves of my life. To that one man who always treats me right, even when I'm grouchy and bloated and feeling murderous. That's right, Gluttony, I'm talking to you. It suggests that we're more susceptible to negative thoughts or actions when our minds aren't constructively engaged. It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, it's not Christmas, IT'S FREAKIN' SHARK WEEK! Which is better. Because...SHARKS. What is Shark Week, you might ask? Water. Yep. I said WATER. Do you have any idea what it's like to be insanely thirsty and have only cucumber water as a drinking option?? I do. And I was hungover when it happened. True story. Spas are the worst offenders - they take something as pure and simple as water and, by adding a single ingredient to it, turn it into an assault on the senses. Yes, senses. Plural. Not only do I have to tastemy water now, I also have to smell the offensive odor that emanates from these wretched veggies. Gross. When you think of water, you think of a babbling brook, or an ocean, or a river. All places where cucumbers are nowhere to be found. So putting them into water is certainly not natural. And rather then send me into spa-like serenity, the presence of a cucumber in what would otherwise be the purest beverage on the planet sends me into a frothy rage of (warranted) hostility. The next day ( Note: we were too exhausted from glut-glut-gluttoning to do anything later that night), 'Tony and I hit some more wineries, where we "tasted" wines (not sure you can really call it "tasting" per se when your taste buds go numb after winery No. 2) with meat and cheese chasers (because...CHEESE). Glut and I then retired to our humble abode, so we could take a nap (it's very important to stay rested when you hang with Gluttony, you know, to keep your strength up) before dinner. That's right - I said DINNER. Oh, it was really fantastic, this long weekend with my love.
