The sweet and wicked race we run
I’ve been thinking a lot about running a marathon again. I took this last year almost completely off from running after the debacle that was my attempt at running the Chicago. Sure I finished, but I pretty much walked in half of it. I felt like I was getting credit for doing something that in [...]

Too many thoughts = ???
I had a lot of thoughts running through my head over the past couple of days. I finished work at around 3 PM on Sunday afternoon and made about a 3 hour drive home shortly afterwards. I spent Christmas day at home with my family and left at 8 in the morning on the 26th. [...]

Yet he somehow managed to get himself a nomination for whatever he did in Hollywoodland. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so quick to judge since I haven’t seen the movie yet. [...]

Family
Family has taken a very new meaning on in my life. I have been blessed to find I have more than just a few people in my family. My biological family is awesome and I realize they care for me more than I ever thought they did. It is also amazing to see how they [...]

Titles
So I was thinking today as I rode from Lincoln to Normal with the rest of my earthly possessions towards a new home for the next ??? period of life. I was wrestling with some thoughts about pain. I kept coming back to the idea that God is purifying us. Purification is an interesting process. [...]

Impending Doom
So the last 3 weeks or maybe even the last month there has been an ever increasing downward trend in my life. Don’t get me wrong there has been a fair share of good things happen to me, but there have been a lot of things that have not gone well and just added [...]
