THE SECOND TEN COMMANDMENTS

Most people are familiar with the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai as recorded in Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:1-21. But have you heard of the second Ten Commandments? The second Ten Commandments are "10 suggestions" of a cardiologist, Steven R. Yarnall, MD, for giving one the edge on being the best you can be.

Taking care of ourselves is most often just good, old-fashioned commonsense. But here are Yarnall's "10 Health Commandments" as I found them in a pamphlet put out by the Hope Heart Institute. Thou shalt ...

1. Exercise thy body. There's no need to climb mountains as Moses did, but if you don't use it, you will lose it. A famous physician once wrote, "If exercise came in a pill bottle, it would be the most widely prescribed medicine of all".

2. Exercise thy mind. Again, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. Read. Write. Go back to school. Exchange ideas. Be creative. Be reflective. Learn something new every day. Share what you learn with others.

3. Exercise thy spirit. Read inspirational and/or scriptural books. Don't be afraid to be open and loving. Give, and allow others to give to you.

4. Exercise thy willpower. Examine your habits...the ones you want to develop, and the ones you want to change. Then, set goals and make those changes.

5. Have a happy heart. Laugh. Live. Create. Share surprises. Help others find joy and purpose in their lives.

6. Play. Schedule time for pure play and find ways throughout your day to have fun.

7. Eat, drink, and be merry sensibly. Don't eat or drink or do anything else to excess. Don't smoke cigarettes or use harmful drugs. Don't take stupid chances.

8. Give up guilt, regret, and depression. Let go of the past and move on! Decide what's wrong (not who's wrong) and take action.

9. Fear not the future. The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. The future's not totally in your control, but if you take care of today, most of the future will take care of itself.

10. Live now. Learn from the past, plan for the future, and live in the present. Love others (and yourself) appropriately now. Look for leaders (living, dead or imagined) who are worthy of admiration and imitate their good qualities. Pursue and preserve healthy relationships; you become like those you are with.

The Ten Commandments were given to Moses as a standard to teach and live by so they would have a long and fulfilling life once they arrived in the promised land. God has given us the gift of life...body, mind, and soul. I want to suggest, then, that if followed, these 10 Health Commandments may have a big impact on how well we live the gift of life which God has given to us.

YES!!! None of my pages will fully load. On the Sunday thread it stops in the middle of your post and won’t even go far enough for me to reply.

I can’t post the new thread either. It says “an error occurred”.

The only thing I can respond to is the last couple comments from renewing My Comments page. It won’t load any further.

[left that other site]

They DO provide poo baggies for the dogs.

I Guess they expect, like carnival cruises, for the people to use them too, perhaps? LOL.

[Kathy in Alaska]

You would think they would at least have a porta-potty over in the corner. d:o)

Well, I changed to 20 per page....now it loaded your whole post!

Thanks!!

And to you and yours, a Blessed Lord’s Day.

Mine seems to be back to “normal” for the time being. Glad it did...I could find out that there wasn’t a new thread because of the problem.

I hope things normalize soon. I really don’t like not having the 50s. :)

See ya tomorrow, I reckon! ((((hugs))))

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m going to save Part 3 for next week. It is after 11p on the east coast, and I don’t want to post it this late....doesn’t do it justice.

Hope you had a nice day. I will try to ping the list that the Hall of Heroes will resume next Sunday evening.

Have a great Monday. ((HUGS))

I changed mine to 20 instead of 50...it seems to work now, but I’m with you, the end of the page should be 50. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Good for you. We have had 2 days above freezing, not nights, so the roads are wet and slick, and no more snow on the trees. Dirty snow is everywhere you drive. I had to put the car back into 4 wheel drive to get out of the neighborhood. Every corner was slip and slide, AFTER finally getting stopped.

I am ready for breakup and all the snow to be gone til next year.

[luvie]

That sounds like a good plan! I’ll look for it then and hope that tomorrow things resume some sort of normalcy.

I had a great day....hope you did too! Hope that your work-weed isn’t too stressful!

See ya tomorrow! ((((hugs))))

Good morning, All...

Due to a glitch in FR, I was unable to post the Hall of Heroes thread, so it is saved for next week.
So please continue on the Sunday Chapel thread.

Everyone have a great Monday!!
