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.

Something Deep and Binding

Read: Genesis 1:26–28

God created mankind in his own image. Genesis 1:27

Amina, an Iraqi immigrant, and Joseph, an American from birth, attended a political protest on opposite sides. We’ve been taught to believe that those who are separated by ethnicity and politics carry unbridled animosity toward each other. However, when a small mob accosted Joseph, trying to set his shirt on fire, Amina rushed to his defense. “I don’t think we could be any further apart as people,” Joseph told a reporter, “and yet, it was just kinda like this common ‘that’s not OK’ moment.” Something deeper than politics knit Amina and Joseph together.

Though we often have genuine disagreements with one another—substantial differences we often can’t ignore—there are far deeper realities that bind us together. We’re all created by God and bound together in one beloved human family. God has created each of us—regardless of gender, social class, ethnic identity or political persuasion—“in his own image” (Genesis 1:27). Whatever else might be true, God is reflected in both you and me. Further, He’s given us a shared purpose to “fill” and “rule” God’s world with wisdom and care (v. 28).

Whenever we forget how we’re bound together in God, we do damage to ourselves and others. But whenever we come together in His grace and truth, we participate in His desire to make a good and flourishing world. — Winn Collier

Who seems to be completely different from you? What would it be like to spend time with them, sharing what you have in common?

God, the way the world is right now, it’s hard to believe that because of You every person shares something deep inside. Help me see this truth.

Bible in a year: 1 Chronicles 16–18; John 7:28–53

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Hope you are all over being sick. Did Tippy help attend to you?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, marktwain, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

I am a lot better, but am still laying low so as not to pass the bug around.

Tippy has been a total dear during my self-imposed isolation.

Even though she is a hefty 30 pounds of muscle, she thinks she is a lap dog. LOL.

It’s kind of comforting. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

[Kathy in Alaska]

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

[CodeToad]

I don’t know. These second ten commandments look like they might wear me out. I’m already exhausted.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope you had a restful day. Is it warm enough yet to be ale to sit out on the deck? Sure is nice to see a lot of green on the cam again. I imagine y’all are glad to see it again too!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Fun at the museum, or folks gearing up for the Memorial Day weekend and out enjoying nice weather?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Hope you are getting some good rest and some sunshine.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

Pretty dead at the museum this weekend. HOT and that’s go-to-the-lake weather. I sent most of the time looking at pix posted on FB of the TN Maneuvers event the guys went to last weekend. Boss Man pulled them up on his cell phone so I could see them. He knows I won’t go to FB. LOL
His mom, who also works at the museum, had the letters her father wrote to her when she was a little girl and he was serving in the Solomon Islands during WWII. She took them up there so we could read them.

So it was still a fun day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Laying low is a good idea. You need rest!

And glad Tippy is RIGHT THERE for you, comforting you from your lap. 🙂

[lightman]

Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way.

A blessed Sixth Sunday of Easter (Western)/Sunday of the Samaritan Woman (Orthodox) to all!

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.

Thanks, unique.
