Health Tip: Exercise Tips for the office & home
Here are some health tips that are easy to apply at home or at the office.

Honor God with positive thinking
Our thoughts should also line up with the word of God. Psalms 39:2 reads, "You know when I sit and when I rise, you perceive my thoughts from afar."

Proverbs can help put you on the right path


Honor God with positive thinking, healthy living
"If I could only get to the certain size or weight, I would be satisfied." How many times have you thought this?

Have a Vision for your life
Without a vision, even the most gifted will starve sitting atop an unopened treasure chest.

Time for Healing
My deck provides a private perch to both overlook the beauty of God’s changing season and my own healing season after open heart surgery on September 17th.

Wasted Days and Wasted Nights


Light of the World
Are the clouds shadowing your light? Consider these words from Christ in Matthew 5: 14-16. “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden...

Cookies calling me
Maybe we should take away the very thing that causes us stumble. Why do we find it necessary to buy items that are not necessary for our health? It all stems from choice and action. Wishful thinking will not save us from ourselves.

Misconceptions
I tucked the back of my hair under the YMCA hat as I prepared to enter the store. I had cased the little convenience joint for several nights waiting for that opportune moment. I checked my glasses in the mirror of my car.

Matthew 5
“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house..."

Springtime Pruning
I was out walking with a friend the other day during her lunch break. As we talked and power walked our way through the quiet neighborhood we noticed the grass was turning a beautiful shade of green.

Walk the Line
The Johnny Cash movie “Walk the Line” is birthing another generation of Cash fans and increasing the air play of Cash classics on the radio. Whether spoken or sung, Cash’s story telling style transforms ordinary songs to spiritual awakenings.

Taking the First Step
The traditional New Year’s resolution article is designed to motivate a person to take action. This article should motivate even the greatest skeptic to take action.

Last week I had the pleasure of teaching the kids at Burns Elementary School the importance of cardiovascular exercise and strength training.

Seasonal Blues and Exercise
It is extremely rare for my husband to ask for advice. It is almost a “Haley’s Comet” type event for him to ask me for advice, and yet last Wednesday it happened. He was expressing how he felt lethargic and how tired he was in the afternoons.

Making the Right Choices
The decisions and choices we make in our life determine our individual destiny. We can choose to feel sorry for ourselves and see obstacles or we can choose to live each day with an uplifting spirit and see opportunities. I believe that God gave us a free will to choose our own destiny.

Red Light, Green Light
“Green light, red light.” I remember shouting those words as a child as I played with my friends in our neighborhood. I would run out the door in the morning and would reluctantly return for dinner.
