The Gym-It's Not just for Exercise

With my new goal to keep my blogs short..er, here goes. Went to the gym yesterday after work. Tuesdays are hard for me to squeeze gym time in because we have church on Tuesday nights so time is tight - but I used Monday (holiday) as my day of rest and didn't want to miss 2 days in a week - oh and by the way Missy, I agree with you 100% , down time is the hardest-God Bless my wife for stocking sugar free jello and tons of fruit!! Anyway(so much for shorter), I squeezed in a workout yesterday and I saw a friend in there and we got to talking about God as we worked out-which is a a work out in itself for me because there is the obligatory gasping for air between "God is great" and "Amen". Now this is the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened and as I was thinking about it last night, I had to ask myself "how many people around me and my friends heard us talking about Jesus?" So now I have a new addition to my prayer before going to the gym - "Oh gracious and heavenly Father, please don't let me die on the elliptical, or at least not fall off and whack myself with a rotating pedal, but if I do, give me the opportunity to tell someone about You between gasps of breath and whacks of the pedal....Amen"
