To a man who truly is strong to the core:
G ARY J ACKSON O LIVER
Gary, you have been the closest friend a man could have in times of joy and delight as well as adversity and despair. You ve enhanced my life in so many ways, as well as the lives of so many throughout the world. You were my student, but I ve learned from you.
We taught together, hunted pheasants together, fished too many places to count (I always caught more), challenged one another to grow, shared insights and laughed. (Oh, how we laughed - especially with your bizarre sense of humor.)
We ve also grieved and cried together over the losses of our sons named Matthew, as well as the deaths of our wives. We didn t choose or like the journey of grief, but like so many experiences, it drew us closer together. We grew in our faith and dependence upon our heavenly Father. God allowed us the privilege of performing one another s second marriages (although I still can t believe you said what you did at mine!).
Thank you for being a man of prayer and for your deep commitment to Jesus. You have been a positive model and challenged me to grow. Thank you for teaching others how to live life to the fullest, as well as how to navigate the final stages of life.
So for the whole world to know, I thank you for being you. I love you.
Your brother and friend in Christ,
Norm

About the Author
J ANUARY 1
Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives tales; rather, train yourself to be godly (1 Timothy 4:7).
Y ou know what it s like to sweat. You re playing an intense game of racquetball or working in the yard. At first small beads of water ooze from your pores. Then, as though a pump were turned on, water pours down your face and body. Your shirt absorbs the perspiration, but soon it s so wet and sticky that it s in the way. You strip it off. The harder you work or play, the more you sweat. And for most of us, the better we feel.
The word train that Paul uses in today s verse literally means naked. In ancient Greek athletic contests, the athletes competed without clothing so they wouldn t be hampered by it. The word train meant to exercise naked. And whenever you train, there is sweat.
Do you catch what Paul is saying in today s verse? He s saying to train (exercise, work out) for the purpose of godliness. Paul is calling for spiritual sweat. As the Greeks rid themselves of clothing that got in their way, Paul is calling us to get rid of any habit, relationship, or practice that keeps us from being godly men. The writer of Hebrews put it this way: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us (Hebrews 12:1).
After Paul said to train, he noted that we need to labor and strive for it. Labor means st
