Yet it was only now, when each day ended with exhaustion and the body cried out for every extra minute of rest, every little respite from work, every extra crumb of food, that I really came to appreciate the marvelous gift of life God had given man in the resources of the human body.
Similar to the marathon experience. Insane what the body is able to endure. It's God's wonderful creation made in his likeness. Through God's grace it receives power, just as I felt in the marathon. Jesus Christ ran it with me.
