Bodily excercise profiteth little...

I had a co-worker at a former job that whenever the topic of health, excercise, dieting, etc. came up he would remind us of the scriptural truth that "bodily excercise profiteth little"... and he's right that is at least a biblical phrase, but it's the second half of the verse that makes the point - "but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." (1 Tim 4:8) Tonight I've had to reflect on this verse as I'm preparing to start an intense 90-day workout (bodily excercise) program. Unfortunately I don't think I have the gumption and endurance to begin this exercise program tomorrow (today) as I had planned. Due to my recent lack of "spiritual exercise" and lack of the godliness that is profitable to all things - I know in my heart that I need to start with my walk with the Lord. So I'm skipping the workout videos for now and focusing on getting my true "core" into shape. I can't even fathom my actual need for God right now or my deep deep need for brokenness. Pray for repentance (metanoia = change mind) - I need a "changed mind".

design and content

I've decided to re-attempt creating a website. My previous tries have lacked two major components: design and content. This time I have a better feel for what I want "to make" and a little more spare time than I've had in the past. One thing that is big for me is HTML standardization - I pretty much hand code everything (in VIM) and so I'm very "code focused" or in this case "markup focused". I also don't like testing my code on 18 different browsers, so I'm trying to follow W3.org standards to the T. I'm hoping this project will give me a better understanding of current fundamentals in HTML, DOM, JavaScript, etc., to help me in my day job as a ColdFusion/Flex programmer.
