Latter Day Sinner

I listen to LDS hymns almost every day. One of my favorites is Come, Come, Ye Saints. I was listening to it sitting on my cell phone while sitting in my easy chair. It came to the line, “Why should we think to earn a great reward/ If we now shun the fight?” I was struck with how sedentary I have become. I felt at that moment that I was shunning the fight. I got up and did a few stretches and the feeling passed, but I suspect it will return unless I become more physically active. But I’ve been hyper alert for so long and it is so hard for me to actually relax that sitting in my easy chair playing on my phone seems like such a luxury. It is a luxury I can afford at this point in my life and since the fight usually comes to me it is hard to shun even if I wanted to do so.
