Hobbies

Jon Stewart, a lefty like me, said, "If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values:  they're hobbies."  I like this.  Do I find my exercise program, my running, something I do consistently, or only when it suits me.  When the weather tests me, do I just give up?  I look at my practice of prayer?  When tested by busyness, boredom, lack of energy, do I skip it?  Jon Stewart would say then that my prayer life is a hobby.  We lefties are pretty sharp!
