I end up doing both poorly, and, given my eating habits, I can't afford to exercise poorly (he says after having two of his homemade chocolate chip cookies, milk and coffee for breakfast).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-21814485488764550992007-02-16T07:01:00.000-07:002007-02-16T07:01:00.000-07:00i can't read on the elliptical either. i've seen p...i can't read on the elliptical either. i've seen people like you. i don't get it.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015836604614281485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-24403644235586020532007-02-15T15:02:00.000-07:002007-02-15T15:02:00.000-07:00okay, so I'm so glad that someone else looks forwa...okay, so I'm so glad that someone else looks forward to the gym time not to get exercise but to READ! THAT IS ME!!!!!!! funny, i had to replace "exiles" as my gym reading because after the first part, i lost interest. <BR/><BR/>oh, and i take a pen w/ me to the gym so that when i come across something good i can put a squibly checkmark in the margin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-35159638476954677642007-02-15T11:57:00.000-07:002007-02-15T11:57:00.000-07:00I'll stay out of much of the "exile" talk since I'...I'll stay out of much of the "exile" talk since I've probably said too much over at Rob blog. And I haven't read it, so that's usually a problem when chatting up (or down) a book.<BR/>"Permission Granted" - I'm thoroughly enjoying even though I keep getting sidetracked by my wife excitedly reading Rob Bell's "Velvet Elvis" to me.<BR/>For me, I'm interested in reading people who are actually doing stuff. Theory doesn't play well in my world. (quick plug: read "Kissing the leper" by Brad Jursak ...that church is doing it).<BR/><BR/>Re."Forgotten Ways" Scot McKnight is doing a chapter by chapter review of it...fascinating.<BR/><BR/>(sorry, no tags to stuff...not enough time)<BR/><BR/>Anywhooooo....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-12102111220021908612007-02-15T08:53:00.000-07:002007-02-15T08:53:00.000-07:00Grace,Yep, your assessment sounds pretty familiar ...Grace,<BR/><BR/>Yep, your assessment sounds pretty familiar (I just finished reading it last week). There's some great gems in the first part, and I think his use of "exiles" to sum up "in the world but not of the world" is brilliant.<BR/><BR/>The last half was more practical in spots, and simply maddening in others (I'll blog my final Worms on the subject in a day or so).<BR/><BR/>Forgotten Ways is also next, but I'm right now reading John Wimber's <A HREF="http://www.vineyardmusic.com/usa/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=787" REL="nofollow">The Way In Is The Way On</A>, and absolutely loving it. Wendy read the first chapter and said, "THIS book should be required reading at future YWAM schools!"<BR/><BR/>Glad you're enjoying <I>Permission Granted</I>; I found it encouraging and our current church attending (CCA, versus CLB) has all the leadership reading it, which should be interesting.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507750513253177476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-41186737153566056102007-02-15T08:49:00.000-07:002007-02-15T08:49:00.000-07:00Good morning Lily.How do I read on the treadmill? ...Good morning Lily.<BR/>How do I read on the treadmill? Very carefully!<BR/> <BR/>To start with, I only fast walk, I'm not a runner. I spend most of my time on the elliptical and usually just warm up or cool down on the treadmill. Next, I use a bookholder. <BR/><BR/>Still, it is quite an accomplishment getting my book, bookholder, highlighter, and water bottle all situated. <BR/><BR/>Occasionally my water bottle or book fly off of the treadmill, but as long as it isn't my body doing an unplanned dismount, it's good. (Fortunately that's only happened once, and I didn't live up to my blog name, grace.)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16458658959357581120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-83769516558555745112007-02-15T08:37:00.000-07:002007-02-15T08:37:00.000-07:00Man - I'm still wading through exiles, but I'm rea...Man - I'm still wading through exiles, but I'm really enjoying it. <BR/><BR/>How do you read on the treadmill?
