A Matter of Fitness

The Fitness Craze

Turn on the TV and it doesn't take long before you see someone touting the benefits of health and fitness. 
"Buy this gadget, slim down by drinking the latest gut buster drink, or follow my super fitness plan and you will lose..." 
It doesn't take long before you realize that fitness is big business.
People should be concerned about their physical health and fitness, but why is it that with all the money and resources put into promoting good health and fitness, research statistics show that we are in an obesity epidemic?

The God of Wonder


This week I have been pondering just how awesome God is.
The Bible says in Psalm 19 that, the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
This made me think about the size of the universe we live in.
 How big is the universe?
Astronomers estimate that the observable universe is about ninety billion light years across. (A light year is the distance that light travels in one year, at the rate of 186,000 miles per second).
The universe consists of countless millions of stars, planets etc. Scientists don't really know how large the entire universe is because they cannot see all of it.
Considering these mind blowing statistics, our earth is just a spec in the cosmic noise of space.
We are not here by chance!
