Sermon for May 17, 2026

Welcome back to another edition of View from the Pugh with Guy and Chris! This week, we are catching up on a massive wave of sports news and cultural shifts that have everyone talking. From the surprising details surrounding Tiger Woods to the launch of a new football league in Columbus, we are covering it all right here.In this episode, we tackle the heavy headlines first, looking into the recent Tiger Woods rollover crash in Florida and what it reveals about the pressures of being an icon. We also pay tribute to former Raiders center Barrett Robbins following the news of his passing at age 52. This leads into a vital conversation about mental health in sports and why our society needs a more holistic approach to support those struggling with invisible battles.Baseball fans will want to stick around as we discuss the Cleveland Guardians early season performance and the growing frustration with the fragmented world of sports streaming. Between Netflix, Apple TV plus, and Peacock, watching your favorite team has never been more complicated. We also dive into the Ohio State Pro Day highlights, the upcoming NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, and the debut of the UFL Columbus Aviators.Chapters0:00 Intro and Vacation Catch-up4:15 Tiger Woods Legal Issues and Accident8:30 The Impact of Fame and Personal Struggles12:00 Tiger Woods and the Road to Recovery16:15 Remembering Barrett Robbins and His Legacy20:45 A National Conversation on Mental Health24:30 Baseball is Back: Cleveland Guardians Update28:00 The Streaming Struggle for MLB Fans32:15 MLB Labor Issues and Salary Cap Talk36:00 Gas Prices and Economic Frustrations40:30 Ohio State Pro Day and Draft Prospects44:00 NFL Draft Logistics and Pittsburgh Traffic48:15 The UFL and Columbus Aviators Launch52:30 Final Thoughts and Wrap-upIf you enjoyed this discussion, please give this video a like and subscribe to the channel for our weekly check-ins!

In episode 423 of Everything Fastpitch, Coach Tory and Coach Don preview segments and encourage Patreon support, then share a Did You Know about UCLA's Megan Grant hitting 40+ home runs to crush a record held since 1995 despite playing about 20 fewer games, with Grant also having been part of UCLA's national-championship women's basketball team. City of the Week is Oklahoma City, reflecting a download spike during the Women's College World Series, and they briefly plug Square Cuts training discs. A listener asks about the best D1 home-field advantage; they highlight Alabama's Rhodes House, plus Nebraska's record crowds and Arkansas's intense atmosphere, noting big attendance as a major factor. In the interview, Chip Pugh (a former strength coach who shifted into leadership/character development and now serves as the Tennessee Titans' director of team development) explains his book Made to Win, built around six practices, encouraging people to believe they were made to win by maximizing potential through serving others and, from his faith perspective, modeling Jesus; he recommends buying in bulk via the publisher site. They also debate practice attendance impacting playing time, emphasizing preseason expectations, communication, and consequences for repeated no-shows, and conclude that gadgets can help teach specific concepts but shouldn't be overused.

You'll learn why so many people never experience the joy of winning (because they were never trained to win), how to quiet the “distracting voices” that derail your calling, and why community isn't optional if you want a life that's strong, resilient, and mission-driven. Chip also shares a simple daily prayer and challenge that can change how you see people—and how you show up in the world. In this conversation, you'll learn: The 3-part pathway to winning: expect, aim, and train Why identity comes before purpose—and how your words shape both How to discern truth when doubt and adversity hit The “life huddle” principle: why you need a few people who truly know you The practice of “Invest in the One”—and the daily habit that brings purpose into focus Chip's message is direct, practical, and deeply encouraging—whether faith is central to your life right now or you're simply searching for what you were made for. Here's the prayer you pray (the “one daily prayer” from your Chip Pugh episode script): Lord, give me the eyes to see what You see today. Prepare my hands to do what You have designed me to do. Prepare my feet to go where You send me. Please send me to the one who is ready to follow You… and fill me with the skill to win them to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear In 1977, there was a flap in the area of St. Brides Bay in Pembrokeshire, Wales, that involved reported sightings of craft and humanoids. The most well-known incident involved 14 Broad Haven Primary School students running inside to tell their headmaster that they had seen a yellow cigar-shaped craft land in a field. On February 17, three staff members reported they saw the same craft. The story made national news thanks to British UFO Research Association investigator and UFO Investigators Network correspondent Randall Jones Pugh, and a flap began that would result in the area being referred to as “The Welsh Triangle.” A lesser-known case involved an entire family that reported a series of strange events which Pugh covered in articles published in issues of Flying Saucer Review and the BUFORA Journal.In April, while driving, Pauline Coombes and three (out of four) of her children were reportedly chased by a football shaped UFO. Later that year, in October, Coombes, her four children, and her mother reportedly witnessed a craft and humanoids that behaved in an especially bizarre manner. It came out that all sorts of strange happenings were said to have been occurring on the family homestead called Ripperston Farm. Journalist Clive Harold got close to the family and wrote a book about their experiences titled, “The Uninvited.” Read more →YOUTUBE INTERVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVyQ_Um4grM&t=1sCONTACT AND SUPPORT

Sermon for April 5, 2026 (Easter Sunday)

Roderick Pugh enlisted in the U.S. Army less than three months before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Eighteen months later, he was partr of 1st Brigade 2-7 infantry from Ft. Stewart, leading the way into Iraq. He would serve two tours in Iraq, In between, he completed airborne school and became the first African American sniper in U.S. Army history.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Pugh details combat during the invasion of Iraq, surviving  sandstorms and enemy mortar fire, and how the A-10 Warthogs were a huge help in the march to Baghdad. He also describes the intense fighting around the Baghdad airport and the engagement that earned him the nickname "Black Rambo"Pugh also tells us about airborne school and sniper training and explains the biggest reason why candidates fail to become snipers. He then takes us into his second deployment in Iraq with the 2-12 Cavalry out of Ft. Bliss. Pugh shares how his vehicle was hit by an IED and how he and others in his unit later dealt with enemies trying to plant IED's in the road.

"Carriers have been vetted to death. ... For 20 years, carriers have been vetted, vetted, vetted. And brokers have not. There's no entry-level audit, no checking in every year like the carrier has to do. The carrier has a responsibility and an ability to start asking questions." --Dale Prax of Freightvalidate Asking questions, that is, to fully "vet the brokers," noted Prax, freight fraud watcher, FMCSA's onetime "worst critic," and proprietor of FreightValidate , a vetting tool offered to both carriers and brokers and unique in that regard. H spoke to the one-sided nature of vetting that's gone on for decades now. In this Overdrive Radio edition, track back through the opening panel discussion at the Mid-America Trucking Show where Prax delivered those words. As was the case last year during the opening, the fraud in freight markets was a big part of the discussion. Our own Alex Lockie detailed the fraud focus in a report last week you can find at this link -- https://overdriveonline.com/15821288 -- featuring Prax and his work alongside so many around trucking to light a fire underneath regulators (and truckers and brokers themselves) on combating the bad actors. It wasn't the only big theme coming out of this year's MATS. Panel moderator Brent Hutto, now working with Truck Parking Club, teed up another topic up at the very start -- the notion of AI, and what quick advancement in various forms could mean for freight relationships for owner-operators and trucking more broadly. Panelists included other voices regular readers will be familiar with, including past Small Fleet Champ Jason Cowan of Silver Creek Transportation on his own growing adoption of automation for parts of his back-office processes. Yet Cowan also underscored the importance of really working personal relationships for any owner-operator looking to grow. "I would go to people and say, 'Hey I want to haul your freight,'" he said of his early efforts to ink shipper contracts. The answer, too often, was a question barked back to him, "Well how many trucks do you have?" In those early days, shippers were looking for fleets larger than his three trucks, yet he never lost an opportunity to offer to be the pressure-release valve for any who would listen. "Hey listen," he might say, "here's my card. When somebody drops the ball, give me a call." Thus was a meager start to long-term business relationships with a myriad customers. Silver Creek's up to around 75 trucks today after a recent acquisition, proof positive the approach at least can work to get you started, if you deliver. More about that acquisition: https://overdriveonline.com/15773179 There's more where that came from, likewise from the other panelists featured in an opening MATS session sponsored by Progressive Insurance and DAT Freight & Analytics: **Lee Klaskow, Senior Analyst, Bloomberg Intelligence **Jamie Hagen, Owner & President, Hell Bent Xpress: https://overdriveonline.com/15819686 **Bill Driegert, Executive Vice President, DAT Carrier Products + Convoy Platform **Sanjay Vyas, General Manager for Commercial Lines Product & Pricing, Progressive **Adam Wingfield, Founder & Managing Director, Innovative Logistics Group Also in the podcast, OOIDA Executive VP on the outlook for the broker transparency rulemaking (still hearing May from the FMCSA) and delay on drafting the next big highway bill in Congress. Partisan arguments over war, over immigration and so much more increase the likelihood Congress might kick the can down the road on the front, Pugh said. But time will tell.

Sermon for March 22, 2026

"If you're really concerned about safety numbers, we want zero fatalities, we want all these things to happen ... we have to train people, we have to pay people, and we have to give them a safe place to rest. That's the first three things we should be doing, and until we do that, we're never going to fix highway safety. It's never going to get better." --Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association Executive Vice President Lewie Pugh The good news is that, according to Pugh, FMCSA and the Department of Transportation more broadly are finally listening to truckers and other small-business interests in their push toward safety improvement, leaving behind old notions of a driver shortage. Pugh contends the notion has for decades influenced the credentialing and training system such that drivers are in effect rushed into the business, with too often terrible outcomes. Nowhere was new federal attitudes toward small business truckers in evidence more than at this year's Mid-America Trucking Show, where regulators spent a great deal of time and effort communicating with owner-ops in attendance: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15820771 Also in the podcast, find more emphasis on OOIDA priorities with respect to the administration, and a rundown with Pugh in light of the broader freight markets, particularly after the dramatic escalation of fuel prices of late with the Iran conflict. We all found a measure guarded optimism among owner-operators in attendance, yet plenty of hope the conflict draws down quickly. Plus: We check in with Jorge Rivera Lujan, featured on Overdrive Radio earlier in the year regarding his and other plaintiffs' legal challenge to FMCSA's rule effectively eliminating most non-domiciled CDL issuance for non-citizens. Lewie Pugh got the opportunity to meet the independent owner-operator at MATS, and well knows that if the rule remains intact Rivera Lujan will lose his CDL and the current status of his business late in the year when the CDL expires: https://www.overdriveonline.com/15816105 Rivera Lujan was brought the U.S. as a child, and with another Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient was able to communicate his quandary at MATS to officials as high as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. In some ways, there could be hope for folks like him, owner-operators adversely impacted by the non-domiciled CDL rule change in effect since March 16. Plaintiffs in the case against the non-domiciled CDL rule have filed for expedited review by the court as of about a week ago, and time will tell on that front. Meantime, owners like Rivera Lujan and others impacted explore other avenues for their futures, his experience at MATS being an eye-opening one in regard to opportunities all around trucking. Pugh stands by the non-domiciled rule change as written, generally, yet also hoped "this is unfortunately the reality we live in in our country. ... Whatever we do it seems like it goes too far one way or the other, and innocent people who are trying to do the right thing get caught up in it," Pugh said. "People smarter than me write these rules and regs, and they probably have reasons we don't understand. "It's almost impossible to write a catch-all law. It's a shame for [Rivera Lujan]. Hopefully they get something in there to change that or that could help." As for the show itself, Lewie Pugh saw a measure of hopeful positivity among owner-operators there quite in spite of dramatic fuel run-ups, with a glimmer of hope on offer in market conditions after the long drought of the last three and more years.

Are we living through a spiritual war hidden beneath the rise of artificial intelligence and advanced technology? In this thought-provoking Spirit Reboot series of Radio Medium, psychic medium Laura Lee sits down with researcher, speaker, and author Dr. Joye Jefferies Pugh to discuss the powerful intersection of faith, prophecy, consciousness, and modern technology. Drawing from a profound childhood vision and decades of research, Dr. Pugh shares insights from her book Beast Mark, End of Days, discussing the role of the pineal gland, energetic frequencies, and how individuals may be influenced on a spiritual and biological level. As society faces rapid technological evolution and increasing uncertainty, this conversation dives deep into the importance of spiritual discernment, protecting your energy, strengthening your faith, and reconnecting with your inner voice through stillness and awareness. If you've been questioning truth versus illusion, feeling overwhelmed by AI advancements, or seeking deeper spiritual understanding in uncertain times, this episode offers guidance, clarity, and tools to stay grounded, aware, and spiritually aligned in a rapidly changing world.

High cattle prices can make it tempting to push pasture ground harder than ever, but what happens when the grass gives out before the market does?  In this episode, Dave Deken, Dr. Brian Arnall, and Dr. Josh Lofton visit with OSU Extension Forage Specialist Brian Pugh about pasture recovery, grazing pressure, and the management decisions producers need to make now to protect long-term forage production.  They break down the difference between native and introduced systems, why rest matters, and how too many cows with too few inputs can quietly drive a pasture into decline. Their conversation also digs into what recovery really looks like. Introduced forages like bermudagrass can rebound quickly with rest, nutrients, and weed control, while native range may take much longer and demands more careful timing.  Along the way, the group discusses soil testing, stocking rates, drought carryover, old world bluestem in western Oklahoma, TEFF as an annual option, and why more producers should start thinking about pasture management the same way they think about crop management. Top 10 takeaways Pasture recovery starts with management, not luck. Rest, fertility, and weed control are the backbone of rebuilding forage systems. Many producers are still stocked for a cheap-input era that no longer exists. High cattle numbers with reduced inputs is a recipe for forage decline. Native grasses need a different rest schedule than introduced forages. Pugh recommends resting native grasses after July 10, while bermudagrass benefits from a few weeks of rest before frost. Introduced forages can rebound surprisingly fast. Damaged bermudagrass can recover in a single season when pressure is reduced and nutrients and weed control are addressed. Native range recovery is slower and requires more patience. Native plants may remain alive below ground even when above-ground growth looks poor. Pasture should be managed more like a crop. Soil tests, nutrient plans, and intentional competition control are just as important in forage systems as they are in row crops. Economics drive bad grazing decisions as much as biology does. Strong cattle markets can encourage overstocking, especially when crop returns are weak. Emotions make herd reduction hard. Cow-calf operations are not easy to scale down quickly because of years of investment in genetics and herd building. Regional forage fit matters. Bermudagrass may work well in some areas, while old world bluestem, native mixes, or carefully managed annuals make more sense farther west. Recovery costs money. Producers often wait until the financial picture worsens before rebuilding pasture, but the inputs needed for recovery do not disappear. Detailed Timestamped Rundown 00:03–01:02 Dave opens the episode and frames the main topic: forage systems, pasture recovery, cattle prices, input costs, and long-term pasture health. He previews discussion on worn-out pastures, resting native grasses, introduced forage recovery, and regional differences across Oklahoma.01:02–01:40 Dave points listeners to the Red Dirt Agronomy website, then introduces the usual crew: Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton.01:40–02:45 The recorded interview begins from the Central Oklahoma Cattle Conference in Stillwater on February 13, 2026. Brian Pugh is introduced as OSU's state forage extension specialist.02:45–04:20 The group recaps the conference session. Early expectations were that producers would mostly ask weed questions, especially around bermudagrass, but the bigger theme became forage system management under current economics.04:20–05:09 Brian Pugh explains that many producers are still managing herds and forage stands like inputs are cheap, even though fertilizer and other costs are far higher now. His point: too many mouths to feed and too few inputs is putting pressure on forage systems.05:09–06:32 Brian Arnall says one forgotten practice is pasture rest, especially in native systems. He argues many producers are grazing too late into the season, especially at the very time native grasses need to recover and recharge below ground reserves.06:13–06:32 Pugh gives a practical native pasture benchmark: after July 10 is when they recommend rest for natives. For bermudagrass, he says a three- to four-week rest before frost, often in October, helps stand health.06:32–08:15 The team discusses how drought, rising fertilizer prices, and the need for forage have led to widespread decline in native pasture condition. Pugh gives an example of carrying too many cows on a declining native system and slowly slipping from one cow per 10 acres to one cow per 8, then worse, as undesirable plants take over.08:15–10:15 Josh asks why producers quit using rest as part of management. The group suggests cattle numbers, tighter economics, incomplete management information, and the lingering influence of older production mindsets all played a role. They also note cheap fertilizer in the 1980s and 1990s made it easier to support intensive systems.10:15–12:44 Dave asks whether producers should treat pasture more like a crop. Pugh strongly agrees, saying forage management is becoming the next frontier in agronomy. The group discusses soil testing, nutrient application, and improving forage efficiency the same way row-crop producers manage corn or wheat.12:44–15:51 The conversation shifts to how strong cattle prices may be carrying operations while crop prices are weak. Pugh warns that profitable cattle markets can encourage producers to run more cows than their forage system can sustainably support, especially when feed and hay are still affordable.15:51–17:10 Arnall highlights the emotional side of herd decisions. Producers may know they should cut numbers during drought or market shifts, but cow-calf herds are tied to years of genetic selection and personal investment, making those decisions difficult.17:10–20:20 The group answers a question about lime, pH, and native systems. Arnall says old bermudagrass stands often persist at lower pH because they've adapted over time, while native stands are more likely to shift species composition as soil conditions change. Pugh notes eastern Oklahoma comparisons can be tricky because much of that land has a long cropping history.20:20–22:24 Dave asks the big practical question: how long does it take to build back pasture? Pugh says introduced forages can recover extremely quickly if they get three things: reduced use, nutrients, and competition control. He shares trial results showing severely damaged bermudagrass reached full ground cover in about 75 days and more than a ton of production per acre in about 120 days.|22:24–23:05 Native systems are different. Pugh says native plants may take much longer, and in patch-burn systems, some plants may not show much above-ground growth the following year even though they remain alive and capable of long-term recovery.23:05–25:33 The discussion turns westward across Oklahoma. Pugh says bermudagrass starts to give way to old world bluestem farther west, calling it the “bermuda of western Oklahoma.” He also discusses lovegrass and notes that intensive management can maintain acceptable quality in some stands.25:33–27:28 Josh asks about orchardgrass and TEFF. Pugh says orchardgrass may have more potential than people once thought, especially if persistence issues are tied to disease or humidity rather than drought alone. He describes TEFF as a high-quality annual option that can fit producers willing to manage it carefully.27:28–30:32 For western Oklahoma, Pugh says native forages often make more sense under dryland conditions, though introduced species still have a place. He estimates native establishment in far western areas may take a couple of years, especially with short- and mid-grass species.29:43–31:23 Pugh explains the economics of perennial versus annual forage systems. Perennials usually win on establishment cost, while TEFF can justify annual planting through quality, tonnage, and hay-market value. He notes TEFF is frost-intolerant, planted around early May, and typically harvested two to three times by late summer.31:23–32:57 The episode closes by returning to the big theme: yes, pastures can come back, but recovery takes investment. Arnall emphasizes the hard truth that producers often want to rebuild only after markets weaken, which is exactly when spending money on fertilizer and herbicide is hardest.33:05–end Dave closes the show, thanks Brian Pugh, and directs listeners to the website for guest information and resources.

Sermon for March 8, 2026

How could AI shift medical value toward primary care relationships if pattern-recognition specialties are more automatable? What would people prefer if given the choice between discussing their problems with a human or with non-judgmental empathic AI? Allison J. Pugh is a Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University and the author of several books. Her most recent works are The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World and The Tumbleweed Society: Working and Caring in an Age of Insecurity. Greg and Allison discuss Allison's newest book and her concept of “connective labor,” defined as the relational practice of seeing another person and having them feel seen. They also contrast this idea with more individual-centered ideas like EQ. Allison argues that this type of work is reciprocal, widespread across roles (therapists, teachers, chaplains, primary care, managers, service work), and increasingly important as the economy shifts toward requiring more “feeling.” Allison also talks about how AI is being used in new ways to help automate different aspects of different jobs, and along with that come connected effects like the rise of automated medical scribes amongst the medical community, but also the drastic reduction of interns and the near elimination of that valuable aspect of education and job training for an intern's future professional life. They also discuss how the different efficiency tools can backfire because of the increased need to oversee and validate automated output. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Why friction is essential to human connection 17:26: Part of the relationship with another human being involves the friction of not being able to control what they say, of running up against their disagreement or conflict or even tension, or they have their own ideas, their own desires. And that is part of making our way through this world, and it is a really important part of being in community, in relationship with other human beings. And that is what chatbots do not give us. They give us no friction. AI is mirror, not a relationship 17:08: So with chatbots, you are not really experimenting how to be with another human being. You are instead experimenting with a mirror, and that is just not going to have the same powerful impact. Who gets humans, and who gets machines? 12:27: The idea that technology will be better than nothing, I am afraid, will not lead to greater opportunities to be seen, for less advantaged people. Instead, they will just have machines seeing them, and the rich people get humans seeing them, and that is an inequality that I find kind of tragic. Seeing people is a leadership skill 49:52: When people have a chance to kind of express their values at work, figure out who they are and have their values kind of enacted in their work and kind of basically attach a purpose to what they are doing, a more transcendent purpose than just kind of earning the paycheck, it translates into a kind of deep meaningfulness, and that is part of the outcome of connective labor. And so it is really worth it for managers to get good at this because it enables people, the people they are seeing, to figure out what matters to them and to find that in relationships at work. That is a path to meaningfulness that can be very important.

For more than 80 years, the scientific community has pushed for institutionalized wellness. We have deferred our health to only the conclusions of lab-based tests and the scientific method. But how have humans thrived for thousands of years naturally? It seems the dam is breaking right now, and people are waking up to the fact that there is so much we can do ourselves to naturally improve our lifespan and healthspan. A balance is needed between scientific health advances and the natural health solutions freely available to all of us. Adiel Gorel is joined by Sara Pugh, PhD for an "enLIGHTENING" conversation about the power of natural light and its impact on pretty much everything our body needs to regulate itself metabolically. In this episode, everything is touched on: light, vitamins, grounding, processed food, sleep, and more.

What does it mean to live out our calling in a world increasingly shaped by technology, efficiency, and automation? In this episode, Dr. Alison explores the deeper meaning of vocation — not simply as a job or career path, but as the unique way each of us is meant to bring care, creativity, and connection into the world. Joined by sociologist Dr. Allison Pugh, professor at Johns Hopkins University and author of The Last Human Job, they reflect on what Dr. Pugh calls “connective labor” — the deeply human work of seeing others and allowing ourselves to be seen. This episode explores: -Why the most important part of vocation has almost nothing to do with your resume -The hidden kind of work you're doing every day-The small moment that can restore dignity in an instant (and why most of us miss it) -The tradeoff nobody talks about: when “more efficient” becomes “less human” -The uncomfortable question technology can't answer for you — and why it matters right now -The choice you still have (even in a system that feels unchangeable) As workplaces change and technologies like AI reshape how we interact, this conversation offers a grounding reminder: while tools may deliver information, they can never replace mutual presence, empathy, and relational connection.

Winter doesn't shut bass fishing down in Mississippi — it just changes the game. In this episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast, Matt Wyatt talks winter bass fishing with longtime fisheries expert and former MDWFP Deputy Director Larry Pugh.Larry explains why water temperature — not air temperature — drives everything, how bass become more predictable in cold water, and why January and February offer some of the best chances of the year to catch a double-digit fish. He breaks down where bass position in winter, how to find baitfish, and why deeper structure like creek channels, ditches, and ledges matter when water temps fall into the 40s.The conversation also covers winter-specific bait choices — including umbrella rigs, suspending jerkbaits, spoons, underspins, finesse rigs, and minnow presentations — along with techniques Larry doesn't use this time of year. They discuss how modern electronics have changed winter fishing, why more anglers are fishing in cold weather, and how a few warm days can suddenly trigger shallow movement even in the middle of winter.

It's the third and final hour of TexAgs! Former Texas A&M defensive back Jordan Pugh joins us on the Buppy's Catering Hotline for Keeping It Real to break down the A&M–Texas game, the Aggie defense, Marcel Reed, Arch Manning, and the Aggies' path into the College Football Playoff. The Film Guy, Brooks Austin, joins the show on the Buppy's Catering Hotline to break down the Aggies' loss to the Longhorns, the Aggies heading into the CFP, Texas's shot at the playoff, and the Ole Miss situation with Lane Kiffin leaving for LSU.  

Approaching our health and wellness with a whole body health approach that focusses on nutrification, allows the body to restore and rejuvenate all body systems, including vision. Vision is too often portrayed as an area of the body that cannot be improved without surgery. Dr Pugh provides testimony to the contrary. An early skeptic of Dr. Wallach's work, he soon discovered the power of nutrifying the body and the ability for the body to improve and even restore vision. God designed a perfect body, and given the right foundations that body can overcome even the most extreme challenges including vision issues.  #BardsFM_HealthAndWellness #Vision #TheBodyTemple Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%:www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.
