Reality is a hard pill to swallow

I played a game of basketball with the High School kids today and I saw a fat man run! Oh wait that was me bummer! I didn't realize how outta shape I was, and then you add a little age to the equation and it's a recipe for disaster and this is wait you get.

I was thinking I was gonna play and be all awesome cause I do have a little skill, but I only made one basket and then one of the girls was complaining about how someone stank, which of course with sweat pouring off me was me. So I stepped out so much for being awesome. Reality is a hard pill to swallow,  now while I do intend to lose a little weight cause the Bible says that our body is a temple. But it also says
" For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come" 1 Timothy 4:8.

So that means even if I get all buffed out and then don't strive for Godliness one day I'll die a buff old man without God which would SUCK!!! So I'm encouraging you along with myself to...

"be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might" Ephesians 6:10. 

Let's be spiritually strong and draw closer to Him until we meet Him on the day He calls us home!

God bless you!
