Does Your Body Need More Fuel?

When thinking about what to eat it’s occasionally good to think about what your body needs. I think it’s particularly interesting to ask yourself the question “does my body need fuel right now?” Before you eat look down at your fuel tank (stomach and hips) and ask yourself the question. The average American has roughly [...]

Saving the Country from the Conservatives

I don’t know about you but Conservative leaders of today scare me.  Do these guys really believe what they are saying or are they totally corrupt?  Us conservative voters need to stop getting worked up by every Fox News talking head and start thinking for ourselves.  Is the stuff we’ve been taught true?  Does it [...]

For Parents with Boys – How to Get Really Strong

I worked out pretty hard when I was a kid, but I had no idea how to do it. I got stronger, but not nearly as strong as I should have. The video links below show how to Squat and Bench Press correctly. I’m posting these videos especially for people with young boys so they [...]

Women – How to Get Slim

The nice thing about having a blog that is linked to Facebook is that I can write things about female weight loss and not offend anyone. I’m old enough to know that besides getting in between a female bear and her cubs the worst thing I can do is tell a woman how she can [...]

Ephesians 2:21 In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are being built together in the Spirit into a dwelling place for God. Ephesians 4:15-16 But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is [...]

The Winner for Best Political Book of the Year Goes to …

Griftopia by Matt Taibbi Ok. I don’t read political books and certainly haven’t read any but this one this year. But I can’t imagine there being a better one out there than Griftopia. It’s one of those books that make you think that those who haven’t read it shouldn’t hold strong political opinions, because they [...]

How to be Healthier and More Attractive

When people say they want to be thinner what they really want is to be healthier and more attractive (not necessarily in that order). As far as I’m concerned the path to becoming more attractive is exactly the same as to becoming healthier so you can make your goal sound as noble as you want [...]

How Not to get Heart Disease, Cancer, or Diabetes

I’ve been wanting to write a health post for a while, but someone has saved me the trouble. Tom Naughton of “Fat Head” movie fame has done an excellent presentation and posted it on YouTube. Certainly watch part 2 as you’ll learn more in the 14 minutes than you ever learned in high school health [...]

Christian Music

Ten years ago when I first started listening to Christian music I was appalled at the standard of most everything I heard. But as most of the music I was listening to on the secular side was sexual and/or drug induced I stopped listening to it and made due with whatever Christian music I could [...]

How to be Thin

I’m working on an article about how to be healthy, but I’ll post a quick article on how to be thin since that’s what people care about anyway. To answer the question of how to get thin, I think it is helpful to ask how we get fat. That’s fairly easy. When we have blood [...]
