Families That Play Together...

Kids, grands, and me
2015?

"Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself." (1 Corinthians 6:19)

Families that play together...are healthier. 

Six months ago, Phillip and I kicked sugar and bad-carb foods (pasta, rice, breads, potatoes, corn, etc.) out the door and invited in lots more veggies—especially the leafy green kind. Phillip is off type 2 diabetes medication. My blood pressure is back to normal, and I have significantly less headaches. We are now firm believers that what you eat is either healing you or killing you and that exercise is a non-negotiable.

After an afternoon of baptizing over 800 people, Pastor Rick Warren realized that his congregation was fat. He was fat. Something needed to change. 

From the pulpit, he apologized for being a bad example by poorly stewarding the body that belonged to God. With the help of doctors Daniel Amen and Mark Hyman, he wrote The Daniel Plan, 40 Days to a Healthier Life. Fifteen thousand members of his congregation jumped on the band wagon, and collectively, they lost 260,000 pounds the first year!

What about you, beloved? Are you a good steward of God's temple?
