Instant access

Thank you for praying. My reading this morning was very apt to last night's 'plog'. I use a Spurgeon book called Evening by Evening as a brief morning meditation at work, and the passage this morning was 'in the evening withhold not thy hand'. He went on to encourage us to use the whole day for gospel work: 'we should make a long day of it'. Or in modern language, 'George, stop whinging and get on with it'. It prompted me to ponder my attitude to exercise, and realise it has too often been about achievement, when it would be better simply to do enough to stay healthy, to, as Spurgeon might put it, allow me energy for gospel work. I think that is my downfall. So back to the gentle jog, and no more whining about having to work long days. Or at least that's the theory...
