Three years and 4 months ago I had knee surgery. My buddies Spackle and House were telling me about this little workout thing they were going to.

Devo –
I used to think that once you became a Christian life would become a lot easier. Follow God’s rules and have very few problems. As we all know, that is not the case. At times it seems that Christians have more problems than anyone else. The difference is that we have the Holy Spirit to walk with us when we are in the valley of the shadow of death.
Compare this to our physical conditioning. If we joined F3 and sat around and did few exercises, we would not get stronger or in better condition. Instead, we work hard and push ourselves to exhaustion to get better.
Remember that whether you’re struggling to get through a workout or struggling with many of life’s issues, keep pushing through. You are not alone.
