Walk and Be Well Church Pension Group

In his Walk and Be Well reflection of a few days ago, the Rev. Dr. William Watson III quoted the words of the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard: “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day, I walk myself into a state of well-being…” 
For the past 28 days, you have been doing the same. With Bill Watson, the Rev. Renée Miller, the Rev. Dr. Jackie Cameron, and Elizabeth McKay Moosbrugger as your companions, you have trodden a path toward wellness.
Some days may have been easier than others. But now is not the time to slow down. You are a walker and can keep pace with whatever walking goals you set for the future.
Remember, there are resources available to help you stay on track. 
Walking with a group of friends or an exercise partner can make the experience more fun, and a buddy or coach can support your goals and help hold you accountable.
Congratulations on completing this 28-day walking program. You have accomplished a significant goal, and it is time for a victory lap. After that – keep walking!

Today, Renée Miller and Elizabeth McKay Moosbrugger talk about limits. Without them, we may do things that could be harmful to body and soul. But we also want to watch for limits that could become barriers to personal growth.

“Sometimes we need to change from the outside in. Sometimes, our inner voice will be whining, ‘I don’t want to go outside’ or ‘I don’t feel like moving.’ At these times, we need to just get out there and let the body’s movements transform the mind. Or at least try to!”The Rev. Dr. Jacqueline Cameron
Motivation — without it, our best-laid plans just lie there. Today, the Rev. Dr. Jacqueline Cameron offers thoughts on what can help us get up and out the door for a walk each day. And the Rev. Renée Miller considers some of the challenges to staying spiritually active and suggests some tips for keeping our souls fit.
