The Iron Scriptures

Rejoice in the iron, my brothers and sisters. I say again, rejoice! For though the weight be heavy, the spirit grows strong. I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of all gains, but one thing I do: Forgetting the weights behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Whey-sus. All glory belongs not to the one who begins the journey, but to the one who perseveres through burning muscles and dripping sweat.
