M&M'S WITHOUT THE BAG

Manuel Sisters

There Is A Lot Of Love In The World,
But There Are Few That Comes Close To A Sister's Love.
The Love That The Sister's Share Runs Deep.
It's So Deep That No One Could Ever Take It Away.
One Who Listens & Understands What You Went
Through & Are Going Through Now. When Live
Seems Hopeless A Sister Is By Your Side. They
Love You For Who You Are Not What You Do
And No Matter Where You Are It Always Goes
With You. -Unknown

These Two Girls Have Grown So Much Just In The
Gym. It Has Been An Amazing Thing To Watch. They
Came In With An Open Mind, Some Dedication, Tons
Of Heart, And Now Have Become Great Athletes At
Skyline CrossFit & Great Leaders In The Community.
One Sister Even Signed Up For The Reebok CrossFit Open.
Their Competitiveness Keeps Them Going, But Their
Love Keeps Them From Straying Apart. I Feel Privileged
To Have Met The Manuel Sisters & Proud To Call Them
Fellow Athletes & Friends Of Mine.

WE NEED MORE STRESS

Stress Tends To Visit Us When We're Tired, When
We're Sick, When We're Driving Through Traffic,
When We're Late To An Important Meeting, Or If
We've Taken On Too Many Responsibilities. When
Circumstances Are Out Of Our Control, We Feel
Stress. When Are Basic Needs Are Not Being Met,
Or If We Feel Unsafe, We Feel Stress. Life Is Much Too
Complicated, And We Are Much Too Vulnerable In
Our Human Condition To Ever Escape The Inevitable
Battles With Stress. But For Some, Stress Does
Have A Positive Side. It Can Be A Reminder That Our
Lives Have Drifted Away From Whats Most Important

"Then Jesus Said, Come To Me All You Who Are
Weary And Burdened, And I Will Give You Rest. Take
My Yoke Upon You And Learn From Me, For I Am
Gentle And Humble In Heart, And You Will Find Rest
For Your Souls." -Matthew 11:28-29

DON'T LET ANYONE FALL

Don't Find Fault With The Man Who Limps
Or Stumbles Along The Road,
Unless You Have Worn The Shoes That Hurt
Or Struggled Beneath His Load.
There May Be Tacks In His Shoes That Hurt
Though Hidden Away From View,
Or The Burden He Bears If Placed On Your Back
Might Cause You To Stumble Too.

Don't Sneer At The Man Who's Down Today
Unless You Have Felt The Blow,
That Caused His Fall Or Felt The Same
That Only The Fallen Know.
You May Be Strong But Still The Blows
That Were His If Dealt To You,
At The Same Place Or Same Time
Might Cause You To Stagger Too.

Don't Be Too Harsh With The Man Who Sins
Or Pelt Him With Words Or Stones,
Unless You Are Sure, Yeah, Double Sure
That You Have Know Sins On Your Own.
For You Know Perhaps, If The Tempters Voice
Should Whisper As Soft To You,
As It Did To Him When He Went Astray
Might Cause You To Falter Too.

BITTERNESS ISN'T BITTER SWEET

One Of The Greatest Challenges To Human Nature Is
The Issue Of Forgiveness. Those Who Cannot Forgive
Themselves Are Filled With Guilt And Despair, And Those
Who Won't Forgive Others Are Filled With Anger And
Bitterness. The Most Miserable People Are The People
Who Never Let Go Of Their Bitterness. Have You Ever Met
An Old Bitter Man/Woman? They Can't Enjoy Life And
Those Who Love Them Can't Enjoy Them. Bitterness Builds
A Barrier That Keeps You Caged In And The Rest Of The
World Closed Out. The Bitter Person Will Cling To A Hurt
From The Past And Will Never Let Go Of It Even Though
They Know It Is Destroying Them. To Various Degrees,
We All Struggle With Bitterness. When We Cling To Anger,
We Punish Those That Hurt Us, Yet We Destroy Ourselves.
Forgiving Someone Or Something Could Be The Turning
Point Of Your Life. Forgiveness Is Key!
