It’s not just about weight

Living as you should is not just about physical health.

Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.”

I say I believe that, but does my life demonstrate that? I say that I am completely and utterly lost without Jesus in my life, but does my life show that? Do my daily choices of how I spend my time, my money, my attention, my entertainment, my work, my love, my private thoughts, my social media, my driving, my family interactions, and everything else I do actually make a liar out of me?

It’s easy enough to say I believe, but living it? If I’m not living it, do I actually believe it? And if I don’t actually believe it, what’s the point in saying I believe it?

Well, I do believe it. Therefore, I must live it.

I teach adult education, including high school equivalency test prep, adult basic education, and Work Ready for Corrections, a workplace readiness course at a correctional facility. I am married with two sons in high school. I have a dry sense of humor and try not to take myself more seriously than necessary.
