How many accidents and deaths have to happen before we put an end to driving and texting. The statistics are on the rise and it’s not a matter of “IF” it will have a devastating impact on your life, it’s just a matter of “WHEN”. That TEXT, EMAIL, VOICE MAIL OR FACEBOOK UPDATE can wait, if not, then pull over in a safe area. Kids and adults alike think they can perform this juggling act and safely operate a moving vehicle. News Flash, no one can…Period!!! We don’t need an organization like M.A.D.D.(Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) and tons of money to spread this message. We can use social media to save lives. I have decided to lead by example and eliminate texting while driving. I have asked my wife and son to do the same. I have gone as far as to ask my son not to allow others to drive and text while he is in the car with them. I told him, if it’s that important for the person to respond, have them pull into a safe place or send the text for them. Remember, the next car coming at you could end your life or your child’s life, just because someone was texting their BFF. Please join me by spreading this message or posting one of your own.

Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion, but willingly, not for dishonest gain, but eagerly; nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.

If you had a child born in 2010, I am sure you weren’t thinking about number 3. You may want to start thinking about it now, and more importantly, start doing something about it now.
1) Diabesity (obesity + diabetes) affects more than one billion people worldwide, including 100 million Americans and 50% of Americans over 65.
2) More than half of Americans are overweight, and a full one-third are clinically obese.
3) Recent reports suggest that one-third of people born in 2010 will develop diabetes at some point in their lives.
4) 9 out of 10 Americans will develop high blood pressure before they die.
5) 4 out of 10 people who die each year in the U.S. die of heart disease, and rates of heart disease are projected to double in the next 50 years.
6) Rates of infertility are expected to double in the next decade.
7) According to the World Health Organization, depression is now the leading cause of disability, affecting more than 120 million people worldwide.
Folks, these are today’s statistics, not the ones of the past. Those were much better, but they are in the past. If we don’t do something about it, tomorrow’s statistics will be even worse. Let’s bring back the past. In this case, I would prefer not to progress.

I am hoping to one day convince you to join me and make simple changes to drastically improve and lengthen your life. In the meantime, I will keep hitting you with reasons why you need to open your eyes as to why. As with today’s post, those reasons can be pointing out the greed in others. I assume you have seen the Walgreens commercials advertising free blood pressure screenings. How this brings tears to my eyes…Finally, a company that cares about me and other Americans. They care enough to offer something for free. Something you and I would otherwise forgo due to cost….etc., etc., etc. God, I truly love when companies finally get it and do something right. Do something not in their interest, but in the interest of humanity. Did I lay that on too thick?..Sorry. Please remember that all companies sit in board rooms trying to figure out how to sell more and more of their product. In this case, Walgreens is offering these free screenings to have more people diagnosed with high blood pressure, so that they can suggest that you go to your local doctor, so that he/she can write more prescriptions for the death inducing statins that Walgreens and other pharmacies fill/sell. From a marketing standpoint, I must give kudos to Walgreens for coming up with this marketing approach before their rivals(who will be soon to follow with this type of marketing aimed at some other life threatening series of drugs they want to sell you). In all honesty, I think it’s great that Walgreens is offering these free screenings. The cool thing is, if you are diagnosed with high blood pressure, you can do something about it. It is 100% preventable and reversible. No need for drugs!!! You heard that right?…No need for drugs!!!
I am sure you are tired of listening to my rhetoric. I am just hoping that some day you will make the choice to listen and live a better, healthier and longer life. I don’t think Walgreens really cares either way…But I do.

Find me 2 people in true love and you will have also found 2 people who on average will be healthier and live longer. It’s the same reason why people who have animals live longer. Let’s skip all the science stuff/studies showing this and put it in basic terms. In order to be healthy; your spirit, mind, body, heart & soul need to be in balance. Once out of balance, illness and disease can enter. There is a chemical reaction that true love produces, which can keep you healthy. On this day every year, people go out of their way to express their love and that love is healing. Valentines comes once a year…Why not spread that love and healing year round and live healthier and longer lives.
-Love, Pat
I’m taking a pole and looking for opinions on this topic in the news. Should we ban those on foods stamps from purchasing junk food?
- I can see both sides of this. On the one hand, I have huge issues with over-reaching government mandates. ...

People do not realize how close they are to good health. Please let me help you. I promise not to give up on you or let you give up on yourself and the ones you love.

Physical activity doesn’t have to be a grueling workout. It can be as simple as a walk on the beach. Generation Church & Generation Wellness Mission combined forces for the Jupiter Florida Monthly Beach Clean Up. We could have slept in this morning, but we decided to give back to the community and joined 100 other volunteers. We managed to pick up 525lbs of trash in 1 hour.
