Today, everybody wants to talk about "healthy living" with topics such as

eating healthy, exercising and weight watching.  I notice a lot of folks my

age are really keyed into knowing their numbers like HDL and LDL (good

and bad cholesterol), triglycerides and blood pressure.  I know that it is a

good thing to take care of the body that God gave us, with the under-

standing it still isn't going to last forever . . . It is just a tent . . . and then

we get a new BODY!

Have you ever thought about the fact that there is another BODY

even more important than our physical BODY?  That BODY is

THE CHURCH.  August is going to be a month when we begin the

transformation of Meadowview to . . . "The BODY!"  (Sounds like

some outrageous wrestler's name, doesn't it?)  We will take a look at

how important it is for all of us to do our part so "The BODY"

functions at HIS best!  We will gain spiritual wisdom on why the

church is important, its role in our personal lives,

our community's well-being and our world as a whole.

Find out this month, your importance in transforming Meadowview

into "The BODY!"  Come to think of it, we are in a wrestling match

and it is time to get healthy!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,

against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against

spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the

whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the

evil day, and having done all, to stand."

Ephesians 6:12-13
