In the past couple of years, I've been taking part in sports activities more regularly. The opportunity to be active and to share this fun with friends has been great.
I've also found I have to be careful that this physical activity doesn't blur my view of myself as spiritual—that I don't view improved coordination and increased energy, balance, and endurance as mere physical attainment. They are accomplishments that grow naturally out of understanding that our talents and abilities are really spiritual, and show the dominion God has given to man. Being clear on these points has led to a couple of healings.
Most recently I was on a summer trip to Niagara Falls with family. We were scrambling up some trails along the edge of the huge waterfalls on the American side of the border with Canada. Coming back I stepped down on some rough ground and turned my ankle painfully.
