Our Starting Points

The Bible shall be our final authority. If there is a disparity between

science and scripture, we shall pick scripture.

We need each other’s support to be successful. “Doing it alone,” is not a long term viable strategy. We are sheep, not goats.

What we know about Fitness and Food comes to us from family,

formal education and environment, not necessarily credible

sources. We do not go out and seek truth, unless nudged. New

ways of thinking must be taught and touch the deepest levels of our

being, if we are to change.

Linda and I will challenge you, encourage you, support you, teach you and care for you. We have a joint passion for this that we can’t

keep to ourselves.
