Exercise

I am not a big exerciser. If I could avoid it, I would. But, I realize that is no excuse not to take care of my body and as hard as it may be now, the rewards are deffinately worth the struggle to get and keep in shape.
So...
My goal is to work out 3 times a week, then blog about it. This way I can keep myself on track.
I realize that as a child of God, is it my duty to take care of my body. My body is a gift, and I am its steward. It is ultimately God's, His tabernacle. And I want this tabernacle to shine with in fullest potential and beauty. By keeping it in shape, I am doing just that.

So, today, I am going to jog for thirty minutes. Out of shape, as I am, this will be a challenge. I pray that God will give me the grace to be patient with myself, and that He will encourage me to continue running when I get tired or discouraged.

Attached is a little clip where Jeff Jordan, physical fitness couch at Holy Wood Acting Studio, talks about the connection between spirit and body. I thought it was really cool.
