I\u2019M NOT SURE\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\nI\u2019m not sure anyone exercises for fun. People say they do to make themselves feel better about the suffering. I mean, exercising, really?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\u201cYeah, that five miles up hill-both ways-yeah it was great. Only two blisters and the cramp wasn\u2019t so bad today.\u201d It\u2019s like no one \u2018likes\u2019 scotch. We do scotch. Because our ancestors, the night before they were to go to war and all they had were sharp sticks, wanted to prepare for that axe wound to the chest, so they drank scotch. We drink it to say we did and to believe we could be sitting around a campfire with a sharp stick someday\u2014with a cramp and some blisters, facing some task the following morning which could take our twigs and berries, metaphorically or for real, and all we have is this sharp stick.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhat about that Methuselah guy?<\/span><\/h3>\nMethuselah lived for almost a thousand years and I bet he was not a jogger. He probably didn\u2019t drink scotch either which was his loss, but I can almost guarantee you that guy, who lived a long time, didn\u2019t lift weights or jog. As a matter of fact, I think he wore eyeliner. A trend in those days for royalty. And I bet they didn\u2019t get that stuff at the local Ultra store. Some slave\u2019s whole job was to mix up highlight for the royals. They probably made it from bee vomit and some mud.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nThey ate weird stuff too. Like \u2018let\u2019s kill this and see how it tastes.\u2019 As well as \u2018don\u2019t eat this, it killed Kevin.\u2019 They didn\u2019t even eat with forks; they ran with sharp knives, and I bet they didn\u2019t have butter. How do you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without butter? We actually exercise BECAUSE of butter. I would think the dairy industry would be lauding that little point.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWe\u2019ve been told\u2026.<\/span><\/h3>\nWe\u2019ve been told since youth, well, my youth; today\u2019s youth needs to come up for air from their Xeee boxes, but from youth we\u2019ve been told to push the iron and run the route. This was usually followed by the story of someone\u2019s Uncle Kyle dying of a heart attack while on the toilet. No real person, mostly men, want to die that way. We want to all die heroically, without any pain of course. God loves us taking care of our bodies. It is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. He also knows the effects of sin on this rock will take its toll.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNot on a toilet.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\u201cHave anyone of you called your uncle lately?\u201d<\/div>\n\u201cI talked to him last week.\u201d<\/div>\n\u201cWhat about the rest of you?\u201d<\/div>\n\u201cWhen was the last time you talked to your brother?\u201d<\/div>\n\u201cThat\u2019s beside the point.\u201d<\/div>\n\u201cI\u2019ll call him tomorrow.\u201d<\/div>\n\u201cI called him yesterday. He didn\u2019t answer.\u201d<\/div>\n\u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019s fine. I\u2019ll call him tomorrow\u2014maybe this weekend.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nAfter decades\u2026.<\/span><\/h3>\nAfter decades of working out, crap starts to fail. Like hips and knees and shoulders. You realize you can\u2019t be that twenty-seven-year-oldWilliams\/williamsstallion anymore AT THE SAME TIME you realize you haven\u2019t been that stallion for decades. Even today\u2019s young, those who do some kind of formal sport, have water bottles they carry. What happened to the community Igloo? With two-ounce paper cups in the shape of a cone? When your pee is the color of amber, that\u2019s when you know you\u2019ve done something right for your body. God built a perfect machine when I comes to the human body. It is the infection of the world with sin which tears it down. It is His son, who makes us white as snow again.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nThen, and only then, do you deserve some scotch.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nJes\u2019 sayin\u2019.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
