“God has blessed you with one body, one vessel, one life to live for him.
You only have one heart, are you taking care of it? You only have one brain, are you protecting and utilizing it? You only have one digestive tract, are you overloading it?
If you die as a result of negligent living, you won’t be able to take care of the flock that God has entrusted to you; you won’t be able to influence your world in all the ways God had in store.
You have a choice in the matter. Choose to do your part to be prepared for the good work he has planned for you.”
– Nelson Searcy, Steve Reynolds & Jennifer Dykes Henson
