"You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body." - 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What determines value? Is it age, rarity, or condition? Most people think value is based on what something is made of or how long it has lasted. But the truth is simple.

"So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." - 1 Corinthians 10:31 When it comes to taking care of our health, we often joke more than we act.
