Mighty Me

A few weeks back, I thought to myself...man, I am in awesome shape. I was training for a half marathon, just ran 6 miles and then biked another 45 minutes the next day and then boxed an hour and declared myself the most fit I have been since my 20's. Then a couple of days and two kids' parties later, I came down with a bug. It wiped me out. I bounced back and went to work. Then I found out I had pneumonia and had to rest. I was bored, not devestated but very annoyed. What am I going to do sitting at home (other than post on Facebook, Twitter, watch ball games, etc.)? Well, I realize that the God I worship did not smite me but this whole sickness bout is a healthy reminder of how God has blessed me with good health over the last several years but He wants me to serve Him regardless of my state of being. And maybe in this time of busyness, he wants me to know His spirit has to be there before things get accomplished. A hard lesson sometimes for Mighty Me. Ecclesiastes 5:2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God.
