My Wife And I Have Invested In Some Exercise ...
Contributed by Scott Jensen on Nov 12, 2008 (message contributor)
My wife and I have invested in some exercise equipment through the years. We’ve bought a stationary bike, an exercise ball, a weight set and even an Abs-machine. But, most of these items never met their intended goal. Our tone didn’t improve like we intended and we didn’t get stronger. Why? because we didn’t use them! Our great intentions didn’t change our physical appearance. To have these tools do any good, you have to actually use them; you can’t just let them lie around the house.
Intentions can be well placed, but they won’t shape your bodies and they won’t shape your spiritual character either.
