I believe diet, nutrition, exercise are important in our lives, because we need to eat to live! But we live in a society that is overly consumed with living a “healthy lifestyle”. I think everything must be looked at in a perspective. Eating wholesome food and exercising gives me the energy I need to go about my day. To have a perspective and lifestyle that is filled with joy and peace we must look at what the bible says while give us that and where to focus our attention.
Morning + Bible + coffee = Heaven (and starting my day with my heart and mind in the right place)

II Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.
