Josh just texted me a before and after picture of himself. He texted me a picture that I took of him when I dropped him off at the Appalachian trail. Looking very heavy and determined to walk off the weight. The weight didn’t budge even though he walked 500 mi through mountains at least 10 mi a day. The after picture was skinny. Josh in his sky high apartment in Chicago. What made the difference? Was it the headache medicine that he got after getting a job that provided health insurance. Was it him feeling great about his himself as a software engineer? Was it him needing someone who excited him as a potential spouse? I would argue that it was Josh’s soul that was being nurtured and that allowed him to lose weight. That 500 mi on the Appalachian trail could not.
