Mission Statement

At the suggestion of a friend and leader, I was encouraged to set up a blog on healthy living. I've been doing my best to learn and apply the principles of health for the past ten years.

The mission of this blog is to both teach and learn. I'll do my best to:

• Empower you with knowledge. 
• Inspire you to action.
• Motivate you with reason. 
• Uplift you with encouragement.

I'll start you off with how I started my journey.

Principle #1: Make an effort to eat more healthy food, and less junk food.

It was my cholesterol test back in 2003 that "inspired" me to decide I needed a change. Since my family has a history of heart disease, and I didn't want to end up dead before 50, I decided that it was better to eat what was good for me rather than just eat what tasted good.

Principle #2: You need to learn more than what you think you know.

While this may seem obvious to some, others that need this advice most, may think they already know enough. I find this especially true the more educated a person is. Hopefully I don't ever get the attitude that I already know enough.

Why brotherandrews.blogspot.com? With God as our Father, we're all brothers and sisters. It's a way to remember to treat all God's children with love. 

I'll try to add something new once a week or so.
