Shade Tree Wisdom 3/12/13

          No school since it is spring break and lots of students gather in places like Cancun and Galveston to do what ever students do during spring break Party, and later whine because in their partying they got careless and lost their money, or their credit card, or their phone, or other stuff, because thieves do like to attend such breaks also. So, keep that in mind and don’t get careless.

          Having said that, do you take your 10,000 steps daily? That ought to be the daily goal according to the American Heart Association study. And Americans, on average, take 5,117 steps each day. The end result is that we are becoming more and more people who sit a lot more than we ought.

          A study found that exercise alone might not be enough to eliminate the risks coming from too much sitting.

          Studies also show people who use devices to measure steps such as Fitbit or pedometers, being more aware, walk more. like parking at the farther end of the lot when grocery shopping. Here one person walks each aisle each time she shops.

          Meanwhile, while you are sitting, always be sure to have the Bible ready at hand, for this is what is really most important, to have a strong and healthy faith.        

          And after saying all that about daily steps, I pray you remember that most, read that Book, it does “make you wise unto salvation”. And that is my prayer for you all.
