Lord, do You remember her, the world’s oldest body builder?
Yes My child, I know her very well. She’s one of Mine.
Look at her. Wow! Is there is hope for me? Here I am, age 63 trying out this gym experience. Yes, I know I’m weak. Yes, I know You told me to walk, but I confess I’ve been slacking in exercise.
I’ll never look like her, but I can get stronger.

Lord, these arms have never cramped like they did today. My sister told me I needed potassium. You know I don’t like taking pills. How did my arms get so weak?
And my legs are weak too. Lord, how did this happen? I walked some last Summer, but these legs don’t remember. They panicked on these machines.
My child, I created your muscles for daily use. It is true, “If you don’t use it, you lose it.” So use them for My glory.
What?
You could also drink more water, you know. It seems we talked about this before. Your body needs water just as a smooth running machine requires oil. Water is to your body as oil is to a machine. Are you drinking enough water?
Lord, (hanging my head) uh, no.
Then My child, return back to what you know. If you want My advice, you must follow My instructions.
On the second day, I tried the above machine for the first time. At the time, I was thinking, “Wow, this one’s easy. It just swings back and forth. I wonder what part of your body this one works on?”
My sister laughed. “You don’t sit on that one. You put your knees down on it where you’re sitting now and pull yourself back and forth.”
“Oh, . . . I wondered why it was so easy.”
