If you don't wanna work out, walk, bike, get a membership at a gym and swim,

The time will come when you will be sorry, and it will be too late

We don't like that subject. drink plenty of water. simple.
00:06:13.763 --> 00:06:15.198
Drink plenty of water. simple. but it has a lot to do with
00:06:15.264 --> 00:06:16.365
Simple. but it has a lot to do with how you feel.
00:06:16.432 --> 00:06:19.469
But it has a lot to do with how you feel. more people are dehydrated
00:06:19.535 --> 00:06:21.037
How you feel. more people are dehydrated than what you can imagine,
00:06:21.103 --> 00:06:22.305
More people are dehydrated than what you can imagine, and it makes you tired.

And i'm very good about keeping water around me. and i'm even pretty good
00:06:33.049 --> 00:06:34.083
Keeping water around me. and i'm even pretty good at sipping on it.
00:06:34.150 --> 00:06:36.385
And i'm even pretty good at sipping on it. but, you know, you can sip
00:06:36.452 --> 00:06:37.420
At sipping on it. but, you know, you can sip all day and still not have
00:06:37.487 --> 00:06:38.521
But, you know, you can sip all day and still not have finished one bottle of water.

Some sleep. you know, how do you wanna feel when you
00:07:25.301 --> 00:07:25.935
You know, how do you wanna feel when you get to be in your 80s?
00:07:26.002 --> 00:07:29.872
Wanna feel when you get to be in your 80s? how do you wanna feel?
00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:30.640
Get to be in your 80s? how do you wanna feel? do you wanna just be--
00:07:30.706 --> 00:07:32.575
How do you wanna feel? do you wanna just be-- can't do anything.
00:07:32.642 --> 00:07:33.543
Do you wanna just be-- can't do anything. can't--
00:07:33.609 --> 00:07:34.911
Can't do anything. can't-- can barely get around.
00:07:34.977 --> 00:07:38.080
Can't-- can barely get around. i mean, my mother was
00:07:38.147 --> 00:07:39.148
Can barely get around. i mean, my mother was on a walker when
00:07:39.215 --> 00:07:40.082
I mean, my mother was on a walker when she was 10 years
00:07:40.149 --> 00:07:40.983
On a walker when she was 10 years younger than i am now.
00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:43.653
She was 10 years younger than i am now. and it doesn't have
00:07:43.719 --> 00:07:47.990
Younger than i am now. and it doesn't have to be that way if you
00:07:48.057 --> 00:07:48.891
And it doesn't have to be that way if you take care of yourself.
00:07:48.958 --> 00:07:50.293
To be that way if you take care of yourself. now, sometimes
00:07:50.359 --> 00:07:50.960
Take care of yourself. now, sometimes something happens,
00:07:51.027 --> 00:07:51.661
Now, sometimes something happens, and people can't help it.
00:07:51.727 --> 00:07:52.762
Something happens, and people can't help it. but do as much as you can
00:07:52.828 --> 00:07:56.933
And people can't help it. but do as much as you can for as long as you can.
00:07:56.999 --> 00:08:00.069
But do as much as you can for as long as you can. and move.
00:08:00.136 --> 00:08:00.736
For as long as you can. and move. the more you move,
00:08:00.803 --> 00:08:02.405
And move. the more you move, the more you can move.
00:08:02.471 --> 00:08:06.242
Spend time instead
00:08:09.145 --> 00:08:10.046
Spend time instead of wasting it.
00:08:10.112 --> 00:08:12.715
Spend time instead of wasting it. like i told you,
00:08:12.782 --> 00:08:13.482
Of wasting it. like i told you, when i had a hip replacement,
00:08:13.549 --> 00:08:16.152
Like i told you, when i had a hip replacement, i healed very well
00:08:16.218 --> 00:08:17.153
When i had a hip replacement, i healed very well and very quickly.
00:08:17.219 --> 00:08:17.820
I healed very well and very quickly. and the doctor said
00:08:17.887 --> 00:08:18.487
And very quickly. and the doctor said it was because i was
00:08:18.554 --> 00:08:19.288
And the doctor said it was because i was in such good shape,
00:08:19.355 --> 00:08:20.256
It was because i was in such good shape, because i had taken care
00:08:20.323 --> 00:08:21.591
In such good shape, because i had taken care of myself prior to getting it.
00:08:21.657 --> 00:08:24.093
Because i had taken care of myself prior to getting it. however, i only have six
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:25.695
Of myself prior to getting it. however, i only have six teeth in my mouth that
00:08:25.761 --> 00:08:26.796
However, i only have six teeth in my mouth that are not crowned.
00:08:26.862 --> 00:08:29.532
Teeth in my mouth that are not crowned. don't take long to get
00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:30.333
Are not crowned. don't take long to get my teeth cleaned.

Don't take long to get my teeth cleaned. happens very quickly.

My teeth cleaned. happens very quickly. >> [audience laughing]
00:08:33.402 --> 00:08:34.670
Happens very quickly. >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: but that's because
00:08:34.737 --> 00:08:36.372
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: but that's because i didn't take care of 'em
00:08:36.439 --> 00:08:37.306
>> joyce: but that's because i didn't take care of 'em when i was young.
00:08:37.373 --> 00:08:39.709
I didn't take care of 'em when i was young. and i actually had a dentist--
00:08:39.775 --> 00:08:43.779
When i was young. and i actually had a dentist-- and this was when i was first
00:08:43.846 --> 00:08:45.114
And i actually had a dentist-- and this was when i was first in ministry and running all over
00:08:45.181 --> 00:08:46.349
And this was when i was first in ministry and running all over the place like a chicken
00:08:46.415 --> 00:08:47.116
In ministry and running all over the place like a chicken with my head cut off.
00:08:47.183 --> 00:08:49.385
The place like a chicken with my head cut off. my dentist asked me to stop
00:08:49.452 --> 00:08:52.888
With my head cut off. my dentist asked me to stop calling when i had an emergency
00:08:52.955 --> 00:08:54.490
My dentist asked me to stop calling when i had an emergency if i wasn't gonna come
00:08:54.557 --> 00:08:55.558
Calling when i had an emergency if i wasn't gonna come in for the maintenance
00:08:55.625 --> 00:08:56.592
If i wasn't gonna come in for the maintenance i needed in between.
00:08:56.659 --> 00:08:59.228
In for the maintenance i needed in between. 'cause i wouldn't go in and get
00:08:59.295 --> 00:09:00.329
I needed in between. 'cause i wouldn't go in and get my teeth cleaned.
00:09:00.396 --> 00:09:01.030
'cause i wouldn't go in and get my teeth cleaned. i wouldn't go in
00:09:01.097 --> 00:09:01.664
My teeth cleaned. i wouldn't go in and get checkups.
00:09:01.731 --> 00:09:02.164
I wouldn't go in and get checkups. and then every time i'd get
00:09:02.231 --> 00:09:03.065
And get checkups. and then every time i'd get a toothache, i'd call and say,
00:09:03.132 --> 00:09:04.166
And then every time i'd get a toothache, i'd call and say, "i have an emergency.
00:09:04.233 --> 00:09:04.967
A toothache, i'd call and say, "i have an emergency. can you get me in?"
00:09:05.034 --> 00:09:07.069
"i have an emergency. can you get me in?" and i did it so much,
00:09:07.136 --> 00:09:07.970
Can you get me in?" and i did it so much, he finally kinda told me off.
00:09:08.037 --> 00:09:09.372
And i did it so much, he finally kinda told me off. >> [audience laughing]
00:09:09.438 --> 00:09:11.273
>> joyce: and i deserved it.
00:09:12.141 --> 00:09:14.677
>> joyce: and i deserved it. so, let's talk about some
00:09:14.744 --> 00:09:15.978
>> joyce: and i deserved it. so, let's talk about some of the things that
00:09:16.045 --> 00:09:16.612
So, let's talk about some of the things that are time wasters.
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.849
Of the things that are time wasters. how about guilt?
00:09:19.915 --> 00:09:24.954
Are time wasters. how about guilt? that is such a waste of time.
00:09:25.021 --> 00:09:28.024
Jesus bore our iniquities
00:09:28.090 --> 00:09:29.558
Jesus bore our iniquities and the guilt.
00:09:29.625 --> 00:09:31.994
Jesus bore our iniquities and the guilt. and so if you ask to have
00:09:32.061 --> 00:09:33.462
And the guilt. and so if you ask to have your sins forgiven,
00:09:33.529 --> 00:09:34.563
And so if you ask to have your sins forgiven, if the sin is gone,
00:09:34.630 --> 00:09:35.965
Your sins forgiven, if the sin is gone, why would you still feel guilty?
00:09:36.032 --> 00:09:40.102
If the sin is gone, why would you still feel guilty? and you not only waste your
00:09:40.169 --> 00:09:41.303
Why would you still feel guilty? and you not only waste your time when you wallow around
00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:42.638
And you not only waste your time when you wallow around in guilt, you waste god's time.
00:09:42.705 --> 00:09:47.376
Time when you wallow around in guilt, you waste god's time. because he really can't use
00:09:47.443 --> 00:09:48.544
In guilt, you waste god's time. because he really can't use us if we're in that condition.
00:09:48.611 --> 00:09:52.648
Because he really can't use us if we're in that condition. and i think people just think,
00:09:52.715 --> 00:09:53.883
Us if we're in that condition. and i think people just think, "well, it's just not right.
00:09:53.949 --> 00:09:54.817
And i think people just think, "well, it's just not right. you gotta feel guilty
00:09:54.884 --> 00:09:55.651
"well, it's just not right. you gotta feel guilty for a little while."
00:09:55.718 --> 00:09:57.620
You gotta feel guilty for a little while." you find a scripture for that
00:09:57.687 --> 00:09:58.854
For a little while." you find a scripture for that and bring it to me, please.
00:09:58.921 --> 00:09:59.922
You find a scripture for that and bring it to me, please. >> [audience chuckling]
00:09:59.989 --> 00:10:03.159
And bring it to me, please. >> [audience chuckling] >> joyce: it takes faith to know
00:10:03.225 --> 00:10:08.531
>> [audience chuckling] >> joyce: it takes faith to know you did something wrong,
00:10:08.597 --> 00:10:09.465
>> joyce: it takes faith to know you did something wrong, ask god to forgive you,
00:10:09.532 --> 00:10:10.566
You did something wrong, ask god to forgive you, and then refuse
00:10:10.633 --> 00:10:11.434
Ask god to forgive you, and then refuse to feel guilty about it.
00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:14.203
And then refuse to feel guilty about it. worry is useless.
00:10:14.270 --> 00:10:15.471
To feel guilty about it. worry is useless. it's like being
00:10:15.538 --> 00:10:16.472
Worry is useless. it's like being in a rocking chair.
00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:17.239
It's like being in a rocking chair. you rock all day
00:10:17.306 --> 00:10:17.907
In a rocking chair. you rock all day and you go nowhere.
00:10:17.973 --> 00:10:18.641
You rock all day and you go nowhere. it's just--
00:10:18.708 --> 00:10:21.510
And you go nowhere. it's just-- it's useless.
00:10:21.577 --> 00:10:24.413
Ephesians 6 says,
00:10:25.114 --> 00:10:25.881
Ephesians 6 says, "do all [the crisis demands],
00:10:25.948 --> 00:10:26.982
Ephesians 6 says, "do all [the crisis demands], then stand
00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:28.017
