Fortune Flourishing Fun

Praise song for the day.

Some live by love thy neighbor as thyself,
others by first do no harm or take no more
than you need. What if the mightiest word is love?

Love beyond marital, filial, national,
love that casts a widening pool of light,
love with no need to pre-empt grievance.

In today’s sharp sparkle, this winter air,
any thing can be made, any sentence begun.
On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp,
praise song for walking forward in that light.

Above is the first and last five sentence transcript
of Jan. 20th inaugural poem by Elizabeth Alexander.

The Mightiness of Love

President Bush’s (USA’s and allies’) preemptive attack on Iraq may make one wonder about the mightiness of love. But Jesus Christ, not preempting even the grievance of crucifixion, projected how mighty love can truly be. Being personified love, Jesus went through the cusp of death and back into life’s widening pool of love light; Divine unconditional love filled His human body with a joyful biochemistry invincible to pain.

God sending His Son to Earth to endure intense torture as a payment for human wrongdoing appreciates pain to an extremely high, unjust value. I dare say Christianity has turned God’s strategy to “save” humanity upside down. That is, Jesus demonstrating that humans are made in God’s image so that any intensity of discomfort, and even death, can be reversed…has been interpreted by Christianity as Jesus suffering in agony to amend what believers do wrong as well as dying for them so they may have eternal life.

Running through Life’s Pool of Love Light

Fun In Fitness conditions the human physiology to make any thing possible in the following way. First, running with the quality of love is exponentially easier than running with the weight of pain and strain. So Fun In Fitness takes advantage of that and conditions a body engaged in exercise with the refined quality of love, instead of conditioning it to put up with discomfort as one does while working out. Now the goal is to have all 50 trillion body cells functioning with the high quality and ease of love to naturally produce a corresponding biochemistry that can support any physical feat.

Practicing Fun in Fitness in my first Phoenix R ‘n R Half Marathon (Jan 18, 2009) I found myself coping with thousands of people ahead of me, thousands behind, and 15 on each side. Still, the experience taught me how to run with others and without grieving. Now I’m planning future marathon running when I can compete with the best in the front group. I will soon post a chart to graphically display my Fun-in Fitness progress.

As a devoted athlete, how might fun-in fitness revolutionize your sports goals?

In this post I propose that Jesus did not suffer pain and die in place of others but He reversed pain and death to demonstrate the value of human life being made in the image of God. As a devout Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, Deist, or otherwise what would you add or subtract to my meaning of Christ’s crucifixion/mission?
