50-70%: sit more than 6 hours a day
20-35%: spend 4 hours or more a day watching TV
The study revealed that those that suffer from ''sitting disease'' literally take years off of their life.

SALVATION-''WHOsoever'' Gospel, but not 'WHENsoever' Gospel
SERVICE-content to coast to Heaven on a life insurance policy-no Work
