The one of health - issue contents

Charles Mills

A brand-new year. What a great time for starting fresh, making plans, or setting a unique never-before-tried course for your life. If you're like me, you enter the year excited about the possibilities.

Vibrant Life begins 2004 facing some changes of its own. As the new managing editor of this amazing magazine, I'm in awe of its potential and can only hope that I'll bring to you the information, inspiration, and motivation you need to make your life better. Departing editor and good friend Larry Becker, who's facing new challenges of his own as public relations director of a Christian university in southern California, set a pretty high standard!

But I'm ready. My wife, Dorinda, and I have faithfully followed the principles outlined in the pages of Vibrant Life for many years. We've long enjoyed the benefits of a vegetarian diet, depended on nature's healing power, and reveled in the peace of mind that only God delivers.

Like the editors before me, I'm a firm believer in the three elements of well-being: physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual balance. Rest assured that Vibrant Life will continue to highlight all three in each and every issue.

We begin the year by inviting you to glance back into your past before setting future fitness goals. Then we examine the 10 nastiest habits that many well-meaning Christians battle, and tell you how to overcome them. You'll also discover how being a Christian affects your health. And just in case your diet has been lacking punch lately, we've got one word for you. Flax.

Author Jack Denton Scott once wrote about an Arab philosophy concerning health. It states that health is the digit one, love is zero, glory is zero, and success is zero. Put the one of health before the others, and you're rich. Without the one of health everything is zero.

So turn the page, and begin 2004 with Vibrant Life. Place that one of health before all else. Ask God to spend the year with you as you search for your own special blend of physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual balance.
