Tour Bus Perspective
Perspective. It’s all in the way you look at something. In most of life’s circumstances we have the choice to look at something negatively or positively. Sort of like the glass half full/half empty train of thought.
Learning to Live with Less

Recently Oprah based a show on learning to live with less. Two families on the show were immersed in their technology. Oprah took away all their gadgets—TVs, phones, computers, and video games—to see how they would fare. One of the families owned 5 TVs, 4 IPODS, and 4 cell phones. Before Oprah’s challenge, they often found themselves watching the same shows in different rooms. The mother frequently texted her daughter while they were in the same house. The families in question were shocked at the results of Oprah’s challenge. They began doing things together as a family again—eating dinner, going for walks, taking cooking lessons. http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090506-tows-live-without

What is on your “bucket list?” If you saw the film starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, you know what I mean. What do you want to accomplish in life? What habits do you want to change? As the old saying goes, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there.” In fitness, as in any area of our lives, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, change must be intentional.

What if we were given an assignment to create fresh “old” adages? New famous old sayings.
Sticks and stones may break my bones…but they can also make a lovely centerpiece, according to HGTV.
Wounded Soldiers

One of my all time favorite movies is “Gone With the Wind”, the epic drama about the feisty Scarlett O’Hara and the plight of Southerners during the Civil War. There is a scene that haunts me right after the intermission. The camera swings wide and all across the ground as far as the eye can see are dead and wounded soldiers. It is an overwhelming sight to see those who once went forth with such determination and loyalty to the South now lying unable to move on the ground. As I think on that scene, often a picture that is less concrete but equally moving comes to my mind. It is a picture of those who started out as soldiers for the Lord and were intent on serving Him. Then, for whatever reason, hard times came or other things attracted their attention and loyalty and, now, they are no more effective than those soldiers in Atlanta.
