HEALTHINESS

Is this even a word? Maybe its a "Marta-ism"...but it brings us to the close of our LETU Advancement Office Wellness Challenge...overall, we committed to 1) working out three times a week, 2) healthy eating, 3) daily devotionals and 4) reading one book-book a month. Most of us met these goals and overall the office lost almost 90lbs! Isn't that incredible?

I am thankful to work at LeTourneau where we are encourage to care for the whole person - our bodies, our spirits, our minds. Its wonderful to be employed at a place where our work week is cut down to four days so that we can save money on our commute. We are very blessed!

You can be blessed too - get out there and enjoy God's creation! And while you are at it, here are some ways to help the creation along:

Grand Canyon Trust Volunteers (gcvolunteers.org)
