CHURCH FITNESS CENTERS ARE WHERE
WORKOUTS AND WORSHIP MEET
By Allison Stephan
While religions may differ on things like doctrine and traditions, they mostly agree that you should care for your body by staying physically healthy, whether that is through the practice of yoga or fellowship on the basketball court. However, several Houston area churches have taken staying healthy to a new level by building fitness centers to rival any large gym, complete with climbing walls, weight rooms, sport courts and organized sports for toddlers and senior adults alike.

Houston Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis has been playing soccer since he was five years old. Now, in his eighth MLS season, the 28 year old native of St. Louis says he’s finally hitting his stride after being voted into the 2009 MLS All Star game and being named the Houston Dynamo’s team MVP.

A Do Over
By Aaron Benzel
Remember when you were a kid playing a game with your friends and if you screwed up you could call out “Do Over!” and get a second chance? Hopefully, at that point you knew what you did wrong so you could fix it on your next try. Sadly, life doesn’t normally give you a do over, but every once in a while it does.
As a kid I found that my weight was a part of my life where I had very little control. Things didn’t get any better after I grew up. As the years went by my weight slowly got worse until it eventually got as high as 395 pounds. I can’t claim some medical reason for my massive weight. The painful truth is that I simply love to eat. My need for food was the most powerful force in my world. It was greater than my dignity, my relationships and even my life.
At a weight nearing 400 pounds, my addiction to food was extremely destructive. Sleep apnea, joint pain, fatigue and depression all topped a long list of physical issues I battled daily. The emotional devastation of being morbidly obese is so damaging I am unable to convey the pain in this article. Unlike other addictions, when you struggle with your weight it is visible to everyone.
