From the Associate Pastor - July 1, 2011

I have received several e-mails that were inspired by Pastor Chris’ message on June 12th about living a healthier life style. When Chris first told me about what God had laid on his heart for the body (no pun intended) at Covenant, I was inspired as well.

After by-pass surgery and having type 2 diabetes, you would think I would get the picture. But, two and half years after the surgery, I am heavier now than before the by-pass. Martha, Hazel, Myra and others have urged me to drop the pounds, but I would always respond “I know, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.” Sunday, turning in the commitment card along with 120 others, I felt a peace knowing that this is not something to dread, but something to live for. Live for a healthier spirit, healthier soul and a healthier body. Pray for me as I pray for you that we CAN, with God’s help, turn our bodies into a “temple” pleasing to Him.

Rev. Byron Aucion
