Let's Exercise. Or Not.

     I don't exercise. I know I should, but I just don't get as much working out and exercising done as I should.
     Our pastor, Jim Graff, today said something about touching toes and it made me think of something.
     I've worked in the nursery at church for over 12 years. It started out, I would volunteer when they flashed the number on the screen indicating they needed help. Then I started working one Sunday a month. My wife worked in the nursery 2 weeks out of each month so I usually got put with her. Now I work twice a month.
     My favorite age of children are those around 6 months old. Those that have just discovered their feet. if they get fussy, you can take off their socks and shoes and they will entertain themselves for quite a while playing with their feet,  grabbing their toes, trying to stick their feet in their mouths.
     Point is, for a little while in a child's life, their feet are all they need to be entertained.
     What does that have to do with exercise? Touching toes is something people occasionally do as part of an exercise routine.
     Touching toes. Something a 6 month old child loves to do.
     1 Corinthians 13:11
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
     That's why I don't exercise. No, not really. I'm just too lazy to do it. It also points out that you can use the Bible to justify almost anything.
