Walk with a Purpose
I can just hear my 6th Grade teacher in the hallway behind us proclaiming, “Walk with a purpose!” meaning if you’re going to walk, do it quickly. That’s what came to mind when I read this article about walking: “Strong associations with health status have been seen for habitual or self-rated walking pace, which has been associated […]
Overcoming Ingratitude
I’m not sure there is a more common theme in the Bible than the fact that God gives grace to the humble and opposes the proud.

Even more importantly, are the nerves that exit your neck and upper back and how they affect functionality of your shoulder and the use and feeling of your entire arm! If your neck is out of alignment (subluxated) that can […]

In mainstream medicine, there are several categories of drugs that cause some of the worst side-effects; osteoporosis drugs are one of the worst offenders. Because of that, many women are seeking other options to help their bone strength. The combination of Vitamin […]
There is Always a Door of Hope
I believe one of the most important facts we can grasp in the volatile and seemingly unstable days we live in is that God can and will turn what appears to be too overwhelming or what in our humanity we would label “bad” into something useful and refining and good. The Book of Hosea is this incredible redemption […]
