  a good article on a healthy heart
  Tis the Lovely Month of {February}
  Also Known As: National Heart Month
  As a nurse who works in the unhealthiest county of Wisconsin I take this month seriously.
  Our hearts are important. Yet we treat it with no respect, we shovel in fats & sweets (which turn into fats & cause insulin resistance which sets off a whole boat-load of problems). My town has the most bars (based on population) in WI…Our state fair featured Deep Fried Butter last year… What could be better? A Beer & Deep Fried Butter (on a stick)
  Check out the American Heart Association & see what you can do to make a difference (www.heart.org)
  But this causes me to pause & think about my spiritual heart.
  Matthew 5:8 reminds us that only the pure in heart will see God.
  {is my heart pure}
  Romans 1:21 reminds us "For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened"
  {am i thankful}
  Paul's advice to Timothy in 2 Tim 2:22 "So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart"
  {is my heart seeking God}

  Stagnancy in Christ-likeness
  ~Stagnancy~
  Stagnant: (Of a body of water or the atmosphere of a confined space) Having no current or flow and often having an unpleasant smell as a consequence
  **Showing no activity; dull & sluggish: "a stagnant economy"
  I feel that right now I am stagnant in my spiritual life. I feel that my attitudes are tending towards negative and complaining. The smell of a stagnant life is not pleasant. Ups and downs have mellowed out into a flat, dull, stagnant state.
  I know you can't live by feelings…but that's how it is. I feel Stagnant, dull, with no flow, I probably even smell bad. What can change that?
  I need to start memorizing scripture. Delving into the Word of God and allowing Him to rule my life. Only His word can pierce my heart.
