Dr. Norris J. Chumley Satisfied Life

Life is really very simple. Love God with everything you’ve got, in every way, and stop worrying. That may sound too simple, but if you test it day by day in your own life, as I have, you’ll find that it’s a perfect formula for joyful, spiritually-grounded living. Like the Bible says, in Proverbs 3:…

Science finally caught up with what I’ve suspected for years: sugar is definitely, conclusively addictive, and causes permanent brain changes.  It has the same negative effect on the brain as heroin or cocaine! At the annual American College of Neuropsychopharmacology meeting in Scotsdale, Arizona this week, findings from a study conducted by head researcher Bart…

First, I would never be so presumptuous to claim that I know God, or am with God.   In an attempt to honor Him and to remain humble at the same time, I acknowledge God’s grace in my life, and I feel very blessed to have seen His hand and felt His presence in my…

How do you experience, or know God?  Or perhaps you don’t feel you do.  Please tell us in a comment by posting below. Perhaps you pray out loud, or in silence. May be you know God in church, or at home, or work.  Or everywhere? Do you feel the presence of God?  Or just take…

Here’s a delicious sandwich. Take a yellow squash, a zucchini, a carrot, a green or yellow pepper, some onion and mushrooms. Cut them in long, narrow strips. Now get a skillet, put in 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a vegetable (or chicken) bouillon cube, and sauté the vegetables. Cook about 5-7 minutes until slightly soft,…

Go out bird watching today. See how many birds you can find, and make a list. Listen to their sweet songs. Hear how many different sounds the birds make, and see if you can identify the bird with her song. Even better, go get an inexpensive bird feeder and some seeds. Put it out, to…

The only successful method for losing weight is to start new healthy habits and keep them going, not just quickly drop a bunch of poundage on a crash diet. This is not new information!  I’m sure you know this.  What’s new here, is the process of self discovery and education, from a different perspective. Make…

It snowed last night, so this morning the kids and I went sledding down our hill.  I rousted them out of bed, so we could go out before it melted. Once out the door and gathering and dragging the sleds up the hill, it was very fast and very fun.  Even the trudging up the…
