Physical and spiritual fitness
I notice more people exercising in the Joe Dugger Fitness Center lately. I wonder if this is because spring is here and we are more in the mood to exercise, or is it because the military fitness test is coming up? Either way, it is a good thing, because exercise makes us healthier.
There is such a thing as spiritual fitness as well. Navy Medicines second guiding principle states, We believe health to be a complete state of physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being, not simply the absence of infirmity or disease.
You might wonder, How do I exercise spiritually? Its a great question. Spiritual exercise is done through prayer, meditation, scripture reading and worship. These exercises help strengthen us spiritually.
Exercise helps us to be stronger and healthier. Just as physical exercise can help us to run faster and live longer, so spiritual exercise can help us to find meaning and purpose to life, and develop a relationship with the one who made us.
St. Paul wrote,
Exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come (1 Timothy 4:7,8).
If you are looking for a place to become spiritually fit, may I suggest our base Chapel, which offers Sunday worship at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m., and Sunday School for all ages at 9:30 a.m.

Psalm 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
King James Version

Prayer for the Troops
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Honor them when their lives are Bravely given for us and their country. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
~~~~~~~~~~~ Amen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
