Why the backwards E?

In this world of buzz words and marketing gimmicks, it would be easy to dismiss the 3 in FU3L as another ploy to be "relevant." As I was thinking of what to call this, I wanted something simple but able to capture the fullness of the idea. The 3 in the name is a reminder that FU3L has three components: Food, Fitness, and Faith. And yes, I realize the alliteration sounds contrived as well but in truth it came to me at once and without manipulation. I find the flow helps in the concept. Without further ado, here it is laid out:

Food. Conscientious choices are made to eat foods that are organic, local, minimally processed, and without man-made additives. This is FU3L because it rejects toxins from entering God’s sacrifice and optimizes performance. Additionally, it shows stewardship of the earth He created for us.

Fitness. A deliberate effort is made to improve the body’s function through physical and mental exercise. This is FU3L because it displays God’s glory as the Creator and maintains your body in peak shape to be used however God desires.

Faith. Intimacy with God is intentionally increased through prayer and reading of God’s Word. This is FU3L because it connects us with our purpose and motivates our lives.

I hope if this resonates with you, this blog will be a useful resource.
