BLOG:  A good coach is someone who is an expert at helping others create positive  change in their lives. For some clients, the positive change they most want may  be focused on personal goals such as relationships, time management, work-life  balance, stress reduction, simplification, health, etc., but other clients may
be more interested in professional or business goals such as leadership, getting  a promotion, starting a business, etc. An effective coach works with the client  to help them live a better, richer life - regardless of their type of goals.  (taken from:  http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505125_162-57345386/top-10-professional-life-coaching-myths/?pageNum=3)

Blog:   I read recently that major life insurance companies have done studies and   discovered that if you attend church every week you will live on the average 5.7  years longer than people who don’t attend church every week.  Just one more  reason to attend church every week.  But why is this true?  One guess  I have is that those people who do go to church unload their worries on the  Lord.  They have learned to decompress.  If you don’t talk it out  to God, you’ll take it out on yourself.  When you swallow your worries your  stomach keeps score.  You’ve got to let it go, unload it.  Paul  says if you want to relieve stress here’s what you do...worry about nothing and  pray about everything.  This sounds simple, but it’s something that you  have to learn over and over.
