Working out is still important to me.  It matters even more now at my age.  I would like to be as healthy as possible for as long as I can.  Do not imagine that my efforts even remotely match those who are young and energetic.  People ask me what I am working on and my response is that I am working on gravity.  My goal is to just keep things where they are meant to be.  Running is part of my routine but never think it is ever fast or pretty.  I also lift weights on some days.  That is also far less impressive than it could sound.  Today is an example of the huge difference between myself and others.


Two of our recent graduates were exercising today.  One played four years of college football and could still play if given the chance.  Another also played four years and is working toward making a NFL team in July.  You can imagine what good shape they are in.  My goal is usually just to visit with them so people think we are working out together.   Our school does have a good record of sending football players to college and even to the NFL.  I got to watch more than a few college standouts during my years of filming high school football.  They are some amazing athletes both then and now.  God allowed me to see their careers progress from our small school to being on television in college and the pros.  I am grateful for the gift of watching these young men use their talents in amazing ways.


Why is it God's people seem so resistant to being all God wires them to be?  The other side of the story in the church revolves around those who are not engaged in using their talents.  My view is that many times the next great ministry may never be taken up because someone decides to sit on the sidelines.  What may be even worse are those who honestly think they are doing God's will but they do it with a horrible attitude.  Instead of doing a great service they wind up doing damage to the Kingdom.  We never seem able to match up the opportunity with those God calls to make a positive difference in the lives of others.  God longs to be engaged in our world but we forget His choice is to work through people.  That is how it was in biblical times and it has not changed over the years.  God does His best work through people like us who choose to trust Him.  My one hope would be for more people to take less than they give away to others.  


We may not write for a day or two.  Business may keep me from the site.  I hope to be able to catch up at some point while away.  Just know that is my earnest desire.
