Most of us have ‘go-to’ websites for education, entertainment, and information. We’ve found sites we trust because of the originator’s integrity, reputation and quality of information. I have my favorites too.
Below are some of the websites that I have found helpful.
Physical
The Mayo Clinic
When I have a question about nutrition, health, exercise, symptoms, or simply want to read what experts have said about a topic, this resource always points me in the right direction.
Mental

I could spend hours perusing the many classes offered on every subject imaginable.
Spiritual
The Bible App
This app allows me to study various Bible topics from top writers, speakers, and theologians.
