Kickboxing & Honesty

Kickboxing:

Whew, Whew!! Kickboxing was great! I never knew that moving just your legs or arms could make you sweat so bad! We did not do a "marathon" workout, but we woke up every muscle in our arms, legs, butts, and tummys!!! Wow, it was really a great feeling! I look forward to going back on Monday! This was not hard on my knees (the kicking part) and it really made you aware of all the things you have to work on to lose weight. The only part that sucks, is they have mirrors in front of you and you are just staring at yourself or someone else. When you are jumping around you see things giggling that maybe you never saw giggle before...trust me that was scary! I am just happy with myself that I accomplished this class and I want to go back!

Honesty:

ONE DAY, A SEAMSTRESS WAS SEWING WHILE SITTING
CLOSE TO A RIVER AND HER THIMBLE FELL INTO THE RIVER.

WHEN SHE CRIED OUT, THE LORD APPEARED AND ASKED,
"MY DEAR CHILD, WHY ARE YOU CRYING?"

THE SEAMSTRESS REPLIED THAT HER THIMBLE HAD FALLEN
INTO THE WATER AND THAT SHE NEEDED IT TO HELP HER
HUSBAND IN MAKING A LIVING FOR THEIR FAMILY.

THE LORD DIPPED HIS HAND INTO THE WATER AND PULLED
UP A GOLDEN THIMBLE SET WITH PEARLS.
"IS THIS YOUR THIMBLE?" THE LORD ASKED.
THE SEAMSTRESS REPLIED, "NO."

THE LORD AGAIN DIPPED INTO THE RIVER. HE HELD OUT A
SILVER THIMBLE RINGED WITH SAPPHIRES.
"IS THIS YOUR THIMBLE?" THE LORD ASKED AGAIN.
THE SEAMSTRESS REPLIED, "NO."

THE LORD REACHED DOWN AGAIN AND CAME UP WITH A
LEATHER THIMBLE. "IS THIS YOUR THIMBLE?" THE LORD ASKED.
THE SEAMSTRESS REPLIED, "YES."
THE LORD WAS PLEASED WITH THE WOMAN'S HONESTY
AND GAVE HER ALL THREE THIMBLES TO KEEP, AND THE
SEAMSTRESS WENT HOME HAPPY.

SOME YEARS LATER, THE SEAMSTRESS WAS WALKING
WITH HER HUSBAND ALONG THE SAME RIVERBANK, AND
HER HUSBAND FELL INTO THE RIVER AND DISAPPEARED
UNDER THE WATER.

WHEN SHE CRIED OUT, THE LORD AGAIN APPEARED AND
ASKED HER, "WHY ARE YOU CRYING?"

"OH LORD, MY HUSBAND HAS FALLEN INTO THE RIVER!"
THE LORD WENT DOWN INTO THE WATER AND CAME UP
WITH MEL GIBSON. "IS THIS YOUR HUSBAND?" THE LORD
ASKED.

"YES," CRIED THE SEAMSTRESS.

THE LORD WAS FURIOUS. "YOU LIED! THAT IS AN UNTRUTH!"
THE SEAMSTRESS REPLIED, "OH, FORGIVE ME, MY LORD.
IT IS A MISUNDERSTANDING. YOU SEE, IF I HAD SAID 'NO' TO
MEL GIBSON, YOU WOULD HAVE COME UP WITH TOM CRUISE.
THEN, IF I SAID 'NO' TO HIM, YOU WOULD HAVE COME UP WITH
MY HUSBAND, AND HAD I THEN SAID 'YES' YOU WOULD HAVE
GIVEN ME ALL THREE. LORD, I'M NOT IN THE BEST OF HEALTH
AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THREE
HUSBANDS, SO THAT'S WHY I SAID YES' TO MEL GIBSON."

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS:
WHENEVER A WOMAN LIES,
IT'S FOR A GOOD AND HONORABLE REASON,
AND IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OTHERS.

THAT'S OUR STORY, AND WE'RE STICKING TO IT.

Have a Great Thursday!
