Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

You know the feeling when you exert yourself for a little while, with lots of oxygen and energy, and then you reach another zone?

Why is the alcoholic telephone rage of Mel Gibson of interest to so many tabloids and “news” shows?  Why does heartache and…

There’s a new diet pill out, approved today by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).  It’s the first one in almost a decade. Called Qnexa, the FDA calls it “safe and effective,” although quite a few test participants dropped out of studies due to negative side effects.  It’s a combination of the amphetamine phentermine –…

God!  Do you have a hard time getting started sometimes?  Think of God, and say a prayer of thanks. Do you imagine that something you have to do is really difficult?  So hard you can’t really find the energy or motivation to start?  Give it to God.  Pray for guidance and inspiration. Do you think…
