Much of this site is about fitness, which is “fitting” so to speak, since I am a 2006 Body for Life Champion, and fitness athletics is one of my passions! My other passions, my faith and my family. Leave me a note if you have questions or problems with the site–I’m a judge, not a webmaster! -Mike Harris

In the Bible, the word “remember” occurs 166 times. In the book of Deuteronomy alone, where God is telling the Israelites to remember what He did for them, and how to do that,, the word occurs 16 times. History clearly records both in the Bible and elsewhere what happened to the Israleites when they forgot […]
How do you cope with situations like travel, visiting relatives, events that “pop up,” and even occasional emergencies such as having to take a sick kid to the doctor or the ER, or in one lady’s case–being subpoenaed to court! Let’s talk.
FIRST, it’s tempting to just make a blog like this all about TIPS and […]
This is a rerun of an old blog from the past. It is old, but the principles in it are timeless. SAY IT OFTEN ENOUGH, and YOU BEGIN TO BELIEVE IT YOURSELF! How do you achieve what Bill Phillips called the “power mindset?” Well, as Bill points out in the book, it begins with getting […]

First of all, […]
I think that most of us are pretty lousy judges of our motives, and those of others, and of our desires. It’s not that we don’t have good motives and desires, it’s that we don’t really know what they are.
Here are a couple of examples from my own life. As I walked down the hall […]
Title: What is Your Capacity?
Description:I used to do legal work for companies that built nuclear-fueled, electric generating plants in this country, and one of the things we were always dealing with as we worked with regulatory agencies was “capacity.” Because these plants were extremely expensive, the regulators had to determine not only whether the proposed plant […]
Most people have more responsibility around the home than I do these days. But, just because the kids have all finally left, it doesn’t mean I don’t have battles to wage that can distract me from the Body for Life lifestyle. And that’s what most battles do–distract us, rather than solving anything. The first key to […]
My friend Dave Wendel, a pharmacist from Poplar Bluffs Missouri, and a 2004 jump start winner, shows old photos of himself when he tells his body for life story. Some of the ones that are really startling are old driver’s license photographs. It doesn’t even look like him, that big guy staring into the camera […]
The last few days I haven’t been my old self. I’ve been quiet at work, seemingly disinterested around the home, and feeling tired a good deal of the time as well. I really couldn’t put a finger on it until this morning–but I knew something wasn’t quite right.
