I got out on my road bike this morning for only the third time in 2010. The temperature was a little bit below freezing, and there was a stiff wind. But the roads were clear! That hasn’t been true very often in 2010. (Here’s a comparison: in 2009 I rode 3,050 miles, including 106 commutes. So far this year, I’ve ridden a grand total of 69 miles, including six commutes.)

It’s important to pay attention to our health in all three areas: physical health, emotional health and spiritual health. God’s shalom includes health. When you become healthier in any one of thoes areas, that increases your health in the others. Conversely, when you become less healthy in one area, that impacts the others. I haven’t been exercising enough.

It’ll be easier to get out there real early in the morning, now that there’s daylight before 7:00. The days are getting longer. And, there’s another way to tell that spring is near — and this is significant.

Ready?

Pitchers and catchers report to spring training TOMORROW!
