The lack of sun in England is no longer a laughing matter. It's turning into a health risk. A recent study by the government's Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition has recommended that "Britons should take a supplemental vitamin D as a precaution." As the story says, "No sun can mean a lack of vitamin D, as that is where humans get 90 percent of the vitamin." A lack of vitamin D can lead to heart disease, type-1 diabetes, cancer, and multiple sclerosis.

While we can't replace spending time with the Son in his Word, there are supplemental spiritual disciplines that can be added to our lives to help us walking in a "healthier" manner in our spiritual lives. What supplemental spiritual disciplines help you draw closer to the Son? Are you adding some vitamin P to your life—prayer. What about some vitamin C—community?
