sorry it has been so long till this post i have just been having problems with what to write about. so i decided i would talk about parkour. lately i have been practicing this new sport called parkour. parkour originated in the french army as obstacle course training. it is they act of finding the quickest path from point a to point b using only the human body while overcoming obstacles. it involves jumping, catching, and flipping. when i started getting more and more into this sport i knew there had to be some deeper spiritual message that could come out of it. so I have been thinking what spiritual message can i get out of parkour. this is what I came up with the shortest way between two objects or places is a straight line correct? and the bible talks about taking the straight a narrow path and never leaving or falling off that path because if you do the devil will try to devour you. but as fellow Christians we all know just because we are on the right path it does not mean the devil will not throw obstacles are way. so in our spiritual life when the devil throws an obstacle we can not let it stray us from our path we are on a mission and we can not take the time to get off the path then attempt to get pack on. just like in parkour we need to train our bodies and our mind so that when we need to do something and an obstacle try to stop us we will be able to leap or flip over the obstacle without a thought and not let it slow us down.

Stop calling parkour a sport. Parkour does NOT involve flippin. Its because of people like you that parkour became such a mainstream "sport".
