My simple faith begins with my heavenly father giving grace to the entire world...

New Opportunities...

Image
This week I have a new role in the mornings overseeing 155+ Student Volunteers. I have their room all set up, my "Hype" speech prepared, snacks ready to be eaten, scheduled printed and put on the walls, check-in and check-out procedures handled and lanyards ready to be picked up! I think I have it all covered... I've never done this particular job before, however am truly excited for the opportunity. For some overseeing 155+ Middle and High School students sounds miserable. To you I simply share this quote from Neale Donald Walsh, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone".  I know things will need to be tweaked, but that's life. With every new opportunity, there is room for growth and failure. We've got to remember that we're going to have both. We should have both. It's ok to have both. With failure we grow and with growth, we often fail.  Henry Ford said, "Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently....

Take the Day Off...

You may have noticed that yesterday I "took the day off" and didn't blog. I didn't even run. I just laid in the bed feeling bad for my self. The extra hours of sleep were nice, however I still felt guilty. Why did I do it? Was it worth it? My initial intention wasn't to sleep in. My plan as always was to get up at 4:50am to run, read and blog. Unfortunately none of that happened. I simply just laid in bed asleep. Here's my excuse/non-excuse... Last week I put in nearly 30,000 steps each day overseeing 150+ middle school and high school students at our churches Vacation Bible School. On Sunday night I stayed up late to watch the Preds and Pens game (Stanley Cup Finals, Ice Hockey), which didn't go in my favor. I may have even woke up with some pretty bad back and knee pain that would have prevented me from running anyways. Again, not excuses but the reality of my week last week and why I "took the day off" yesterday. I needed to ...

10 Years...

10 Years...Wow!!! 10 yeas ago today I married my best friend! Love you babe! This blogs for you!!! I got up early and went running as I usually do, however this morning was a little different. As I was going down the final hill towards my house I had this great idea. I thought why not run a 10k this morning to honor the 10 years I've been married to my beautiful wife? Sounded like a good idea to me so I ran right by the house and back out for another 3.1 miles. As I was running I thought about the past 10 years and the journey it has been. Marriage is a lot like running. There are ups and downs, days you want to do it and days you don't. There are times you'll hurt and times you'll really thrive. You'll fight up some hills and coast down some as well. You'll experience beautiful things at the top of the mountain and muck through the puddles at the bottom. Marriage isn't easy, but nothing worth fighting for ever is. I believe marriage only gets bet...
