Running is hazardous. Flint ought to address the state of their sidewalks. This morning I was running along for the fast part of my tempo run and trying to work on my memory verses at the same time. Taking avantage of the distraction a slab of sidewalk jutted up, grabbed my foot, and threw me to the ground. The others caught up as I was picking myself up off the pavement and asked if I was okay. I said yes, then looking at my bloody hand and knee, declared that the fast part was over now.
Well, seeing as the sidewalks are unsafe I should move to the street. I tried that last week though and being absorbed in my memory work again, I ended up playing chicken with a bus. (I lost that game because someone broke my concentration by calling my name).
Maybe I should invest in a treadmill.

Boy it’s cold! Chilled down after my run, I froze in chapel and shivered through accountability group. Back in my frigid room I changed to pants, wrapped in a blanket and made some hot tea. I can hardly believe this is August, it should be 100 degrees! I’m glad God made Texas warm.

What a great weekend. First I went out for a little jog 🙂 it went slower than last week but we had a new runner and she only slowed us five minutes. We didn’t want to sit around and get stiff, so to work it out we went and picked blueberries! It was great fun, you could eat all you wanted and then buy what you couldn’t finish 🙂
Dropping by to pick up dinner and our stuff, we headed back out to go to Kim’s grandma’s house – way out in the country. Once there we took a walk through the pastures in a light rain and picked flowers, each of us ending up with a bouquet that we realized reflected our personalities.
We watched a movie and ate ice cream, talked and went to bed listening to the familiar “night noises.” In the morning we made blueberry pancakes with what we ad picked the day before. We had a little church service among ourselves, following the order in Ps. 100 to “come into His gates with thanksgiving and enter His courts with praise.”
We spent the rest of the morning with badminton, frisbee and a thorough exploration of the barn. It was so quiet and peaceful there that we were reluctant to leave, it was so good to “be away from it all” and just soak up the beauty of God’s earth. Finally though, we had to pack up and head out, getting back in time to keep our prior engagement with Andrew to watch “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.”

I just wrote nine pages for a portfolio on obesity. Tis a weighty subject matter. It also makes you very conscious at the meal lines, somehow it’s very unappealing to eat when you’ve just read about bingeing. Thank God for sparing me all of those problems. Meanwhile, I think I’m going to go jog ten miles tomorrow 🙂

Amazing, yesterday I found out that there was something more important than soccer!
God still works miracles.
