QUOTE OF THE WEEK

All the purposes of man have been defeated, but not the purposes of God. The promises of man may be broken—many of them are made to be broken—but the promises of God shall all be fulfilled. He is a promise-maker, but He never was a promise-breaker; He is a promise-keeping God, and every one of His people shall prove it to be so. This is my grateful, personal confidence, "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me"—unworthy me, lost and ruined me. 

Charles Spurgeon, A Defense of Calvinism

Who Knew?

exercise%20ball.JPGI'm sitting here blogging, perched oh-so-carefully atop my exercise ball.  I learned that if you trade your chair for an exercise ball, you can burn up to 350 calories per day (if you work an 8 hour day) with the added benefit of strengthening your core, achieving balance, improving posture and circulation, and just generally getting fitter.*

Know what?  I feel a little silly but once you get used to it, it's very comfortable.  I don't think I'll be sitting on the ball at the drawing board or anything, but I do think I'll keep using it at the computer for awhile. 

If you have an exercise ball, give it a go and let me know what you think. 

*If you have or develop back pain, give up the exercise ball chair.  It can exacerbate some skeletal problems.
