864 Strength + Conditioning – Constantly Varied. NO Routines. NO Ruts. Don’t be Boring!

Since God chose YOU to be the holy people he loves, you MUST clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
-Colossians 3:12

“This world is not a democracy. This world is a monarchy, and God is the King. Sure, we may use language about our rights, and we may even compose and ascribe to a ‘Bill of Rights,’ but the reality is simple: God has all the rights, and we are subject to him.”
-David Platt

“We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth New Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times.” 
-George Washington (TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1777)

I like people who don’t need everyone to like them.
–Live Life Happy

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. Thankful. Grateful. Blessed.
