Princeton University - DEI SUB NUMINE VIGET

 

The Princeton University shield depicts an open Bible inscribed with 

 VET NOV TESTAMENTUM, to signify the Old and New Testaments, above a chevron that represents the rafters of a building.  The University motto is DEI SUB NUMINE VIGET, or "Under God's power she flourishes."

The university was founded in 1746 originally as the College of New Jersey following the Great Awakening which was a series of religious revivals that started in in colonial America. 

God Bless.

Enough

 When the world practices Tao 

         horses fertilize the fields.

When the world ignores Tao

        horses are bred for war. 

There is no greater calamity than desire

             no greater curse than greed.

Know that enough is enough 

           and you'll always have enough.

Lao Tzu's Tao De Ching Verse 46

The Sweet Magnolia

The sweet Magnolia

with leaves of white

Blossoms in scents

of pure delight

Spring gently yawns from

Winter slumber

Pelting rain

Claps of thunder

Verdant green 

Robin skies

Sunlight lingers 

Winter dies

Huzzah Huzzah

Sing natures voices

Spring arrives

The wind rejoices 

Jesus - I Am

•  “I am the bread of life.” (John 6:35, 41, 48, 51) As bread sustains physical life, so Christ offers and sustains spiritual life.

•  “I am the light of the world.” (John 8:12) To a world lost in darkness, Christ offers Himself as a guide.

• “I am the door of the sheep.” (John 10:7,9) Jesus protects His followers as shepherds protect their flocks from predators.

• “I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25) Death is not the final word for those in Christ.

• “I am the good shepherd.” (John 10:11, 14) Jesus is committed to caring and watching over those who are His.

• “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6) Jesus is the source of all truth and knowledge about God.

• “I am the true vine.” (John 15:1, 5) By attached ourselves to Christ, we enable His life to flow in and through us. Then we cannot help but bear fruit that will honor the Father.

•  And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’

Arnold Palmer Golf

From the great Arnold Palmer a wonderful quote that sums up the game of golf perfectly, 

"Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented."

Arnold was a fantastic golfer but more importantly he was a gentleman and a lover of mankind. He would always sign autographs for his fans known as Arnie's Army with a legible signature. He would respond to every letter.  He established Children's hospitals with his wife Winnie in Florida.  

He was an excellent businessman and a dynamic personality that first brought golf to television. The more you give the more you receive.

Getting High

 All Natural

We see so many of us looking to get high from drugs, alcohol, and pills. Why is that when we know that while these may change the way we feel in the short term many of these products are unhealthy and do long term damage to our minds and bodies. 

A simple 20 minute walk can release all the feel good chemicals we need while benefiting our sense of well being and boost our health and longevity.  When we perform exercise, especially outside in the fresh air and soft sunshine, our bodies release the feel good chemicals of serotonin, endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin, For higher intensity workouts we release IGF-1 which has a variety of health benefits.  Fresh air and deep breathing can increase our oxygen levels and reduce our stress and cortisol levels. Soft sunshine, that does not burn the skin, provides essential vitamin D. 

We have an innate ability to improve our mood, reduce stress, and improve our health and sense of well being.  Some simple lifestyle changes can provide a natural high that is everlasting and best of all free. When we sprinkle in a little spirituality we further enhance the benefits.  

These natural chemicals can transform our lives and improve our outlook and optimism but we need to take the initiative. Our bodies have everything needed to improve our health all we need to do is harness those God given gifts. God Bless. 

Time to get high on life.  You deserve the best!

With Love,

Longevity

 Healthy Living

In a 2023 study by the Lancet, a leading medical journal, tracked a million participants to research the benefits of movement. The findings were astounding. 

• Simply moving 150 minutes per week or 2.5 hours, you can reduce your morality rate by 28%.

• When we increase our movement to 750 minutes per week or 12.5 hours, you reduce your mortality rate by 42%.

By just simply moving, we can dramatically improve our health.  We are not talking about lifting weights, running, or other types of strenuous exercise to achieve these results.  Just simply moving increases our lifespan. 

These days we spend most of our time indoors leading sedentary lifestyles, but by simply walking we can increase our overall health and quality of life. A step tracker does help incentivize you to keep moving and is a small investment in your health. 

To your health!

With Love,

Coach K
