I'm sure you have heard of the saying "Money is the root of all evil." Well that saying is wrong! Money is not the root of all evil, it is a necessity to live in this world. The correct saying is actually in the Bible, 1 Timothy 6:10(ESV), "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs." (Some versions say stabbed themselves with many pains). It is the love of money that is what is evil. Even if you aren't a Christ follower this will still apply to you. Look at all the people of this world who will do anything for money...what usually happens to them?
    Money is an idol that tempts many. Please look at how important money is to you. Do you spend, spend, spend because you think it will give you the respect you deserve? Or spend to try and please others? Is it really filling that void? How you spend your money determines if you will win or lose at the money game.
     Here is the 1 truth to having money...give some of that money to those in need (just like the video said!). It can change your perspective and your life for the better. Before you know it, you will have more money! Luke 6:38 (ESV) says, "Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”  Give and it will be given to you! Love ya!

Update 11/29/2017  My husband and I ran the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day. I completed the 3 miles in 42 min 16 sec. I ran and walked. It was super cold, so my daughter's didn't run with us. We did it! This pic was taken close to the end, I was tired! I completed the challenge? Did you?
     Hey Hey hey! I've been stepping up my running game and adding it to my regular workout of weight lifting because... I am doing a Turkey Trot 5K in my area and so is my family (a little by force)! I thought why not issue a challenge! The challenge is to run a Turkey Trot/ run or whatever the 5K is in your area on Thanksgiving day! Grab your family and friends! It is a twofold feel good activity. It is good exercise for you and you are giving to a charity (most 5K's are fundraisers)!
     Thanksgiving day is 49 days away! You have plenty of time to get motivated and start getting in shape (if you're not already) for a 5K. Remember you can walk, run or run/walk! Just as long as you finish the race. You already have the tools to activate your vision and start a change journey (previous blog posts) these will be helpful for this challenge! Submit photos or short vids of you on race day! You can share them on FB and/or Instagram @loveswayhealth, or send them to Loveswayhealth@gmail.com and I will post them on this site. If you live in the Pittsburgh area you can join me! Shoot me an email and I can give you race details. I believe in you! You can do this! This may be the start to a great running career!

​     How many of you watch American Idol? American Idol is a reality based competition show that has launched the career of many current singers. I don’t watch it because I really don’t like reality shows, I want to escape reality sometimes!
