I've got an interesting thought for you today.  "To do" or "To be."  We all tend to go through our days with a "To Do" list.  Executing tasks all throughout the day...work, home...some of them just mindless busy work that's not really serving a purpose in our lives. It's a wonder we tend to feel empty and unfulfilled at the end of each day. What if we changed our thinking....

The other day a friend of mine was shocked to learn I get up at 4AM.  "How can you do that?"  One simple answer. PURPOSE over PLEASURE.  I say this because I have a clear purpose bigger than myself.

So often when we feel a tight muscle we default to stretching.  We've been told over and over, feel tight? Get stretched.  The problem is, the muscle never gets any looser and remains locked up.

Summertime is officially here in Minnesota. Everyone is outside doing all the outdoor things Minnesotans love to do....hiking, fishing, camping, boating.  One of my favorite summertime activities is mountain biking.  I've learned many lessons on my mountain biking journeys.  

Last week was Father's Day and I was grateful for the love I got from my family.  Being a dad fits the Army slogan "It's the toughest job you'll ever love.  It's an important role and I take it seriously.

Isaiah 43:18-19 says: "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

Running a gym through the pandemic was likely the toughest thing that we worked on. There were various challenges with getting through the process, and most of our clients could no longer come in and had to work remotely.

If you have been reading my emails lately, you'll notice they all incorporate a Bible passage meaningful to me.  I was recently ordained as a minister and I believe in the power of scripture in every aspect of life.  This is why I start my emails with a message for you.

Today's message is "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
 

"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap."  Galatians 6:7

It has been widely reported that being obese or living an unhealthy lifestyle puts a person at a significantly higher risk for contracting COVID-19.

At this writing, over 1/3 of our population in the United States is considered obese.  That to me is unacceptable. And more frustrating to me is that we have brought this on ourselves. 

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website!

New Website Coming Soon!
