How Are You Going to Spend the Next 30 Days?

If Your Why Is Larger Than Your Reasons Not To

Last night, I sat in church and listened to Alistair Begg talking about Mark 14:3-9. In verse 3 it says, “While He was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the...

It’s Stupid to be a Team Beachbody Coach…

Just a little while ago, I had a revelation that I needed to be receptive to receiving and acting on.  That epiphany was that it is stupid to be a Team Beachbody Coach and at almost 62 to still think in my head that I am a runner.  I am a Team Beachbody coach...

Forever Young?

After spending years in the lab, I have come up with the formula for being forever young:  Regular exercise + good nutrition + positive lifestyle choices = forever young – or at least quality of life for a longer period of time than most people think possible.  You know that’s not my formula and...

Uncounted Blessings

My blessings have hatched over the last five years.  I never counted them before they hatched because I didn’t know what they were going to be.  I had taken a step of faith, rather a leap of faith, into a big unknown for me and it has become the source of some of the...
