Back To Home Page To Archives - Spring of Life - H. Roger Bothwell Before and After I have a friend who has totally amazed me. Do you recall seeing pictures in magazines of people who are totally out of shape with a comparison picture of them all buffed up? I always thought they were phony come-ons designed to dig into our wallets. My friend took two pictures out of a folder and behold they were before and after pictures. He was completely transformed. It was like looking at a different human being. I asked him how long it took to do that. He told me it took twelve weeks of an hour of aerobic exercise each day, four days a week of serious weight training each week and a careful guard on his caloric intake. If I did not know for sure this man had a sterling character I would have laughed at his joke on me. This was no joke. He literally transformed himself through hard work and daily discipline. Ever since I have seen him I keep thinking if it is possible for a man to do this to himself how much more able is the omnipotent God able to transform us into something marvelously better. God turned Saul into Paul. God turned fishermen into the greatest preachers of all the ages. Just think what He can do with you and me if we will only allow.
