Shorten your life in 2011

I.  According to the Word of God, the majority of us will live to seventy years of age.(Note that the Psalms were written approximately 1037 BC to 539 BC -- long before the beginning of modern medicine in the19th century). 

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away Psalm 90:10


II. According to the Word of God, two things will shorten our lives:
Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?" Ecclesiastes 7:17


Let me deal with the first and most important issue (wickedness):
...the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin-- 1 John 1:7-9
End of story. That's. It.


Second issue (foolishness): Since I'm dealing with a few health problems right now, here's my short list. 
It's what is wise, and not foolish;  what  promotes good health; and, God willing, what lengthens life:
- - Drink 8 cups of water a day
- -Take a brisk walk, no matter how short, at least 5 days a week


There you go ---  I've hit number 1, and number 3 of  the Top-4 New Year's Resolutions*




* increased exercise,
 to be more conscientious about work or school, 
better eating habits, 
and to stop smoking
