Exercising in a gym might seem on its surface to be a bit simple and mundane. You pick up a barbell or dumbbell, and you either push it or pull it, right? Not very interesting. But in fact, there is much to be learned in the gym, not just about exercise and your body, but […]
I wish I could take credit for this saying, but actually it is my all-time favorite Bible quote. I like it so much I’ve considered having it tattooed on my inner arm as a constant reminder to place my trust where it belongs. I will give a couple of examples of how this advice has […]
