The Path: Discipline (Athletic)

In continually relying on vehicles and technology, people have lost understanding of their humanity. Many are out of touch. They are not on the straight path and are not aligned. This is in part why prize-winning athletes (especially working athletes in the trades) should be more appreciated - because they are in tune with their bodies and realize what's involved in achieving high standards of honest living. They understand that strong health is not instant, but is built step by step... over time.  So, not as a "Rabbi" (Matthew 23:8 NIV) and not as a "Reverend." The example here is quite unmistakable, "...as an athlete..." (2 Timothy 5:2 NIV). Notice "...STRICT TRAINING..." (1 Cor. 9:25, my emphasis).  #NoShortCutToExcellence
