It's Fun Friday and I'm sharing some great workout tips. Fortunately I've never struggled with working out (it's the good eating that always throws me for a loop). I've always enjoyed going to the gym. So you can imagine when I moved to my rural community I was stressed with the fact that there wasn't a gym nearby. Needless to say, I had to get creative on staying fit. My business travel schedule, community and church obligations didn't make finding time to work out any easier. I realized that my creative juices would have to flow on a alternative way to stay fit. Here are some of my fun, no gym needed workouts: Walk/run intervals through the neighborhood Cardiovascular exercise is the foundation of most of my work- outs. The light posts in my neighborhood provide a great way to walk & run in equal distance from the back to the front of the subdivision. I will normally walk, jog, or sprint in intervals between each light post. Jump
How many times do you ride by a homeless man or woman and keep driving? You desire to help but you also don't want to give money that could possibly be used to feed an addiction. I would venture to say that almost every person reading this post has experienced this scenario. Today I was inspired by my son's school to make a difference! Their youth department prepares gallon-size plastic storage bags to bless the homeless. They contain various items such as soup, nuts, mints, bottle of water, spoon, and a granola bar.

You have the ability to impact someone's life with a simple gesture. The word of God tells us, to whom much is given, much is required. We are blessed beyond measure, why not share the bl
I walked into my house and a portion of my floor was covered with little, black ants. I instantly knew the kids had dropped some sticky substance on the tile floor. That mess attracted what looked like an entire nest of these little, pesky insects. They were all moving around in unison enjoying what was probably going to be their lunch or dinner. Ironically on Sunday, a dear friend gave me a wonderful scripture about the lesson we can learn from ants. Really, I thought, how can I possibly learn anything from something that annoys me so much. I guess you know where I'm going with this. There is a lesson to learn from ants about efficiency and productivity. The ants didn't waste any time moving into action to retrieve whatever mess my boys left on the floor. Not only that, they called all of their "ant" friends to help them in this insurmountable task. Are you a slacker? Do you like to procrastinate? Do you constantly have the attitude, "I'll ju
