It feels good to sweat.  I'm sitting outdoors, post-workout, in 90 degree heat, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the sole purpose of feeling myself sweat a bit more.  I don't know the exact rhyme or reason why I like it, but I just know it feels, whether through physical exertion or overheating, as though my body is being productive; as if something is being accomplished.  It is a reminder that as hard as I've worked my body at times, my body is working me; that it's been designed to keep me cool and able to operate.  But even more important than that, the sweat is a mark of success.  It's as much an identification of hard work and tireless effort as any medal, plaque, or trophy could ever hope to be.  I'll go back to my apartment tonight and admire the newly acquired stains on my favorite workout hoodie, knowing full well it is the sign of a day well spent...and a job well done.  Yeah, I like to sweat.  Hopefully, you'll see the marks on my life, both physically and spiritually.

"Have nothing to do with irreverant, silly myths.  Rather, train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also the life to come."
