This past Sunday I asked God what the topic for this week’s post should be. I instantly heard, “Listen.” Many times we love talking more than listening. Sometimes we have goals of “talk less, listen more,” or “be quick to hear and slow to speak.” But how often do we actually follow through with our… Continue reading Listen
Run the mile you’re in… I had seen it many times before but I don’t think I ever totally understood what it really meant. Jesus said not to think about tomorrow because it has its own problems. We are to only think about today. Today is the mile we are in. Take one moment at… Continue reading Run the Mile You are In
Have you ever wondered why you don’t change? Have you ever wondered why it seems others are progressing more than you are? The year 2020 is approaching quickly and resolutions and goals I’m sure are starting to sound like a “good idea”. Or at least I have. I’ve had plenty of thoughts such as, “Oh,… Continue reading Embracing Eternity
So last week I had been meditating on Hebrews 12:1 a little. I've been praying about my running and my physical weight... Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run… Continue reading Letting go of the Weight
Yesterday was my annual fall race. This year I did Jeff Polen's Music Fest 5k. I was hoping for a PR but did not realize the difficulty of this course. I knew there would be hills so I had ran the, apparently tiny, easy hills around us. I even did hill sprints, though I do… Continue reading Challenged
I was supposed to have this post published by noon on Monday, but I got so busy and tired that it has taken a few days to complete. Of late, I have really enjoyed listening to a homemaking podcast by Jamie Belmont. Though her talks are for wives and mothers, almost every one of them… Continue reading CrossRoads
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree… Continue reading Planted by the Rivers of Water
If a runner wants to be a good runner, of course he runs. But what does he do when he’s not running? Does he sit around and waste his days away in between workouts and races? Of course not! He lives his life, as I’ve said before, making conscience and sub-conscience decisions that will make… Continue reading Cross-Training
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” - 1 Peter 5:7 All last week I was trying to come up with this weeks post. On Thursday I finally found a good topic, but then Friday came and God smashed the old idea with a brand new one. I was having a… Continue reading God Cares about the Little Things
Using the picture above, imagine the words are the trash in your life. How hard is it to focus on the beauty in the background? As humans, we tend to set the blessings in our life on the back burner and easily forget about them. On the front burners, sometimes turned on high, we boil… Continue reading Enjoy the Beauty
