Hello BLOG Family,

With the lent season approaching (40 days beginning 3/9), let us be mindful of what we put in our bodies. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit so we should be careful of what we allow to go in our bodies that maybe damaging to us physically. There are some foods that can affect our moods and comprehension. Some of our health challenges will change when our diet changes. Try it, what do you have to lose, it's your body you only get one how well are you caring for it? Check out the “NO MORE” plan (I think I’ll publish this if it goes well. Watch out Atkins!). For those of you who dare to take the challenge with me - we can help keep one another accountable.
