In a busy world, we can become incredibly inactive and have poor stamina (cardio, endurance).
We don’t notice how ineffective we’ve become because it happened so insidiously. Plus, most of the people we see everyday are in the same inactive, low-stamina place.
This is not good for our spirit.

Got in line for coffee and donuts even though i don’t do either.
Just wanted to participate in spiritual community.
Maybe 15 minutes in line talking with a friend, he and his Family get coffee and donuts and i decide which table to sit at amongst the 20 tables in the long, narrow room.
The closest table at the end of the donut tables was empty except for a middle-aged man i’ve never seen before.
A year ago to the day, he and his wife arrived from Dominican Republic to spend Christmas with his 28-year old only son.
Stomach pain landed him in the local hospital at 3:00 PM, and the doctors told him he needed open-heart surgery at 6:00 AM.
His heart was so bad, they said he’d soon die.
He didn’t have $800,000, nor insurance to cover the surgery.
His prognosis was only 15-20% he’d survive the surgery.
The hospital gave him the $800,000 operation and subsequent treatments and therapies for free.
A priest gave him last rights and a Rosary.
He asked the medical team if he could hold the Rosary in his hand during the surgery.
This is a story that can’t be made up.
i almost stayed home.
i almost skipped coffee and donuts.
i almost didn’t sit at Mario’s table.
