The theme we have chosen to focus on this month is “walking worthy.” This comes from several Bible passages that admonish us as Christ-followers to walk worthy of the Lord. But you may ask, what does it mean to walk worthy of the Lord. Well, think about it this way: If I want to walk worthy of—let's say—my parents, then I'm going to be a very honest person, a hard worker, a truly humble and generous person who cares about others, because that's the way my parents lived their lives. Then my life would honor them—as we say, it would make them proud of me. So, to walk worthy of the Lord is to make him proud of us—right? To hear him say, “Well done.” Here's what the Bible says in Colossians 1:9-12: “For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.” This passage says walking worthy of the Lord means that you will do good works, reaching out and helping others. In addition, you will be continually increasing your knowledge of God as a student of the Word. And you will joyfully persevere even when things are tough and you will overflow with thankfulness. I like the way Ed Elliott describes walking worthy: “The ‘Worthy Walk' commanded in Scripture is unlike any other journey you will travel. Working from the inside out, this journey starts with who we are then moves to what we do. To walk worthy, one must first understand and appreciate the great price God paid to redeem us. . . our redemption cost God His greatest treasure in heaven. The price He paid is indicative of how He sees us — with great value. The world may not attach much value to you. However, when you know your worth in God's eyes, you will see yourself differently. It will be reflected in how you live your life.” (medium.com/@edelliott) I like that—walking worthy is walking from the inside out.
Your feet are the foundation of your entire active life. If you were a car, your feet would be the tires. Your engine might still want to go, but if the tires aren't in good shape, you may not be going far. Sometimes we don't think much about them (until there's an issue), but as your base of support and the key to your movement, it's about time we consider a few things. Like, how much arch support should you be using, if any at all? Or how can one tiny change in the way your foot moves be the source of low back pain? Or what's the #1 way to keep your feet healthy? We're going to discuss these questions and more on this episode of the FitLife Formula Podcast. I'm joined by Dr Ed Elliott, a podiatrist and long time friend of mine, to talk about how to keep one of your most important body parts healthy and functioning well.

Keeping physically active is a great foundation in aging well. Let's take a look at how Ed Elliott discovered that playing softball can not only keep you young, but can also help you meet and make a lot of friends. You can listen to the show at http://rockyourretirement.libsyn.com/playing-softball-to-keep-young-episode-005 Today I spoke with Ed Elliott, who wanted to be a singing cowboy when he grew up, changed his mind to become a “cementing cowboy”, and then became a teacher. He is now retired and is playing softball to keep young. Ed retired from teaching severely handicapped children and then became a principal, hearing officer, and director of Special Education Programs. He worked in the industry after 40 years. He and I have something in common as I worked for Harborview Developmental Center in Valdez Alaska right after high school, which was an institution for severely mentally disabled adults. Harborview has since closed, and there are no more institutions such as that in the United States. He planned for retiring when he was sixty-two until he went to a faculty meeting and found out that he should look carefully at the retirement chart and not to forget that he could retire at age sixty-one and a half, so he didn't wait. Ed retired without a plan, except he needed to wrap up some loose ends, which he is still in the process of doing (aren't we all!). Ed is Rocking his Retirement by playing softball to keep young. He found the softball league in the newspaper. He and a friend scoped it out first to make sure that there were no former star baseball players in the league! It seemed fine, so they went to a batting cage to assess their skills. They could both still hit a ball (after fifty years) so decided to purchase the equipment needed to play the game. The average age of the players (which includes women) in his league is seventy-one. The majority of the team-mates who are playing softball to stay young are from sixty-five to seventy-five years old, but they do have some fifty-five and fifty-six-year-old players who are the stars of the game. Most of the young ones are still working in their business. They even have a player who is ninety! Ed said that the main benefit of joining the league, in addition to the health benefits, is the advantage of spending time with friends every week. He also gets to find out about new activities when members invite each other to activities that they might not have known about. They are all playing softball on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and so they know where they are going to be on those two days. Otherwise, they might not know what day it is! Another way Ed Rocks his Retirement is by volunteering to spend time doing things for others, such as walking his wife's dogs, spending time with grandchildren, and generally helping people who are still working. Ed can now do what he wants to do. That's not all that Ed does. He's considering becoming an Ombudsman for people who live in Senior Communities. He also is trained in a type of dyslexia called Irlen syndrome, which is a reading problem (words swimming, words curling up, etc.,) that can be easily remedied by using colored transparencies. He is considering helping others who have this syndrome, which is so easy to correct. Listen to Ed's story on today's episode of Rock Your Retirement.
