SENIORS AND EXERCISING
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on. It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.
1) Walking can add
minutes to your
life. This enables
you at 85 years old
to spend an
additional 5 months
in a nursing home at
$5000 per month.
2) My grandmother
started walking five
miles a day when she
was 60. Now she's
97 years old and we
don't know where she
is.
3) The only reason
I would take up
exercising is so
that I could hear
heavy breathing
again.
4) I joined a
health club last
year, spent about
400 bucks. Haven't
lost a pound.
Apparently you have
to go there.
5) I have to
exercise early in
the morning before
my brain figures out
what I'm doing.
6) I like long
walks, especially
when they are taken
by people who annoy
me.
7) I have flabby
thighs, but
fortunately my
stomach covers them.
8) The advantage
of exercising every
day is that you die
healthier.
9)
If you are going to
try cross-country
skiing, start with a
small country.
10) And last but not
least: I don't
exercise because it
makes the ice jump
right out of my
glass.
May we never be
guilty of kidding
ourselves. Someday
- we are all going
to depart this
life. That is what
the “Good Book”
(Bible) says, and
believe me one can
count on it as being
true to the very
end. However, no
matter how bad we
have been we have a
God who is filled
with love,
forgiveness, mercy,
and compassion. He
is open to forgive
us, if we will
accept Him - read
on!
Plainly, don’t get short changed. Let’s be ready to meet our Maker. The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:
1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31) 2) Repent Of Sins (17:30)
3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37) 4) Be Baptized In Water (2:38)
5) Live A Christian Life (14:22) 6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
