I was told by my doctor that if I walked about 5 miles a day as part of my exercise workout, within a month I'd be in Edinburgh.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-51306480165775668812011-07-06T01:48:52.292-07:002011-07-06T01:48:52.292-07:00I like Theodore's treadmill, Victor!

All in the cold or wet weather of course. There are so many beautiful places to walk where we live, it would be a shame to stay indoors all the time.

I use mine some times but not for long as I do not want it to get overtired. The poor machine must struggle with me marching all over it.<br /><br />Best wishes on your 60 miles 3-Day Walk Sarah. It's for a good cause and I wish you well.<br /><br />Some Catholics, not all, (I don't), speak in tongues at Prayer Meetings. Where I live this doesn't happen during Mass but at some Prayer Meetings. It started here in the 60's and 70's with the Charismatic movement at the time. One of our priests did pray in tongues during Prayer Meetings, whilst the other did not believe in it.<br /><br />The Charismatic movement is sometimes a little controversial in the Catholic Church. Sadly, some people frown upon what they don't understand.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-1303548663486219952011-07-02T23:54:02.256-07:002011-07-02T23:54:02.256-07:00Gee!

But I do have to admit that walking in the air conditioning, with a fan on my face, is nice in the summer heat. I do some of my training for the 3-Day Walk in the gym these days, but I like being outside better. <br /><br />Do Catholic believers commonly speak in tongues? I did not know this, but I did hear of a revival movement in the Catholic church around the 60s, I think. I grew up in a Pentecostal church, and speaking in tongues was common. I rather miss that.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091216096297798587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-39463671203504558762011-07-01T13:20:38.345-07:002011-07-01T13:20:38.345-07:00Victor,

And just think: had you drowned - your family could have inherited your dust collection years early! <br /><br />Yikes! That was in poor taste!

Glad I made you smile.
...Hi Shadowlands and Mary,<br /><br />Glad I made you smile.<br /><br />Years ago I went to a shop in London which sold treadmills, rowing machines, bicycles and all sorts of fitness equipment. I wanted a treadmill. The salesman looked at me and advised me not to bother. He said after the original novelty wore off I wouldn't use it.<br /><br />Years later I bought a treadmill from the Internet. That salesman was right - it is not used; but it makes a good receptacle for my dust collection!<br /><br />I also bought a rowing machine. What a disaster that was! <br /><br />I nearly drowned when I put it in the swimming pool whilst strapped in it.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-46578745054275032502011-07-01T11:19:10.513-07:002011-07-01T11:19:10.513-07:00Great story, Victor!

The connections you make between daily events and the Lord are wonderful :)<br /><br />I used to have a treadmill but it eventually became a clothes hanger and later my daughter broke it. There was a time I used to pray the Rosary while walking on it and I like to pray the Rosary while walking outside too. You have a treadmill too, right? Just don't use a good whiskey while walking on it ;)<br /><br />Victor, when my husband and I read your comment about the tea set and the toilet this morning we were laughing so hard I almost choked on my coffee! Your story was sooo funny!! The look on your face must have been priceless :)Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-42582445331417707222011-07-01T11:05:48.264-07:002011-07-01T11:05:48.264-07:00Hello Victor.

That's why there's never a mention of cell phones, CDs, DVDs or computers.<br /><br />Here Theodore discovers a treadmill for the first time, and predicts the gymnasium and fitness center industry. I wonder if he made any money out of the idea. At least a treadmill led him to Prayer Meetings.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-15792105360159391372011-06-30T03:00:44.048-07:002011-06-30T03:00:44.048-07:00Who ever said walking on a treadmill leads to no w...Who ever said walking on a treadmill leads to no where? :) Thanks Victor.
