Handstands

For me the fruits of commandment-keeping have been the results of honoring and applying the principles of the Word of Wisdom (Doctrine and Covenants Section 89). Before I met Jennifer, I had just purchased a push-up stand.  My goal was to train myself from a squatting position to do a straight up handstand. After at least a year of training, with a jumprope-jump roping, many sit-ups, and push-ups, I could not only do handstands from the stand but multiple ones anywhere. This experience taught me the power of training and practice. Such training prepared me for future opportunities in coaching, and inspiring the children in storytelling, race-walking, lacrosse training, and tumbling. In Section 89, it's promise is every revealing-"And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures; And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint."
