January 17, 2013 - ACT NOW!

Hey, we are clipping this week along. Whew! As many of you know, I stand squarely on Galatians 5:1. And while being at the opening of the Dave Ramsey series last night at my church, I saw another principle that really applies to our health journey: TRUTH + ACTION= FREEDOM! I was reflecting on several of his basic, introductory ideas and they were great! But.......each one required action and his conclusion was ACT NOW! He created a comparison chart for two men who both invested, but one of the men waited 8 years to start. (I think it was 8). While they both reaped a reward for ACTION, the one who started early and KEPT TO THE PLAN reaped the greatest benefit. That's us! Also, each of the men had a responsibility to the journey. That's us, TOO! It's not enough that we KNOW that overeating, being overweight, being dehydrated cuts years of health from our journey. It's not. We can "know" that all day.......but if we never ACT on that knowledge and stay to the JOURNEY, the result will be different. I was really captivated by the ACT NOW. You know I love the whole "no excuses" rule and wanted to share this morning that each of us has the opportunity on a daily basis to choose health. Let's not allow all the variables of our lives to keep us from doing what's best for us. This is not a selfish decision - it's a selfless decision. Why? Somedays it's extremely difficult to say "no" to the comfort foods. Right? But our future, and the future of our children and grandchildren, is also affected. Moral of the story - ACT NOW. The sooner we pursue action, the greater the return. I'm on the chart! You? Love ya, PK
