Wellness: On the go
By Tamara Quintana
Let’s face it. Most of us live our lives always “on the go.” But we still need to take the time to be healthy. I recently shared this “on the go” wellness information with our marketing staff who accumulate thousands of frequent flyer miles each year.
Eating
Eating on the go often means making poor food choices. To make better choices, keep these things in mind:

Wellness: Nutrition facts
By Tamara Quintana
If you’re trying to plan healthy meals and snacks for yourself and your family, you already have all the information you need. Since 1994, The Food and Drug Administration has required “Nutrition Facts” labels to be placed on most food packaging.
At first glance the label might look confusing, but it is a great resource when trying to make healthy food choices.

Wellness: Dental health
By Tamara Quintana
We all know that the foods we eat affect our overall health, but do you consider the health of your teeth when you make food choices?
According to the American Dental Association, there is a growing concern among America’s dentists that many of their patients are consuming record numbers of sugar-filled drinks and non-nutritious snack foods that can harm teeth.
When you eat these types of foods, and even some foods that are otherwise healthy for your body, the bacteria in your mouth come in contact with sugars and starches and produce acids. If left in the mouth, these acids attack the teeth and destroy the enamel, eventually resulting in tooth decay.

Former White House insider urges Christian political ‘fast'
By Robert Marus
ABP Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON (ABP)—A tell-all book by a former White House insider is roiling the conservative movement with its charge that top officials in President Bush’s administration have been pandering to Christian conservatives for their votes while delivering little of lasting value to the constituency.
But David Kuo’s memoir of his years in the White House and elsewhere in the conservative movement is also notable for its afterward. In it, the author—who has impeccable Religious Right credentials—calls on all Christians, conservative and otherwise, to take a two-year “fast” from political activity to re-focus on the gospel.

DOWN HOME: Never too late to do something new
Posted: 10/27/06
DOWN HOME:
Never too late to do something newWhen you get to be my age (late-late-late young adult; OK, middle aged), you don’t get to do many things for the first time.
But last week, I did something I’ve never done before.
Months ago, I received an invitation to preach in chapel at Howard Payne University, one of our Texas Baptist schools, in Brownwood.
I quickly accepted, although some people would question my logic.
