Interactions

February 6, 2012 — Leave a comment

Read this today.  Pretty clear guidance on interactions … though often a challenge:

Never speak harshly to an older man, but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger men as you would to your own brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.

– 1 Timothy 5:1, 2 (NLT)

Tired

Call it the “post-vacation blues”, exhaustion, or whatever, I simply seem to be more tired from one week back in the office than six days of activity in Hawaii.

A return to the Islands might
be a prescribed remedy…

…and possibly a weekend!


Training Journal – 2/3/12:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 6 Mile Easy Run @ 9:55
  • Comments: Another day with the “pace abiding” goal: planned was 9:55, achieved was 9:16 (Oh well.)  I did have negative splits and a sub-60 minute 10K!  [I also discovered myself humming “smooth” at least five times during the run!]

Yep Yep

Used to…

So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

Colossians 2:16-17 NLT

I used to do this.

A lot.

So wrong, so wrong.


Training Journal – 1/26/12:

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 6 mile tempo run @ 9:50
  • Comments: The 6 mile tempo run turned into a half marathon tempo run this being my final vacation/run day on the Big Island. I did try and follow the 9:50 timing though. My pinky toe has a gnarly blister – my sock must have turned…

Twenty-five years ago, I married my best friend…what a wonderful adventure we started and continue each blissful day!

We’re not experts, but learn something new each day of the journey – about each other, relying on God, and so much more.

Karen, I love you so much!

  • Current plan: 10K Training
  • Today’s session: 5 mile easy run
  • Comments: At about the 4k mark, I looked at the watch, did a “how ya doin’ ” check, and decided to run 10k (6.2 for the metric-challenged.)  Good pace and time: 55:50 @ 8:57/mile!

Sometimes

Sometimes every one of us feels
Like we’ll never be healed
Sometimes

Sometimes every one of us aches
Like we’ll never be saved
Sometimes

When you’ve given up
Let your healing come
Till you’re rising up
Let your healing come

It’s your love that we adore
It’s like a sea without a shore
We’re lost in you, we’re lost in you
It’s your love that we adore
It’s like a sea without a shore
We’re lost in you, we’re lost in you
Sometimes

Sometimes
It’s like we’ll never atone
For all the love we’ve known
Sometimes
Like in a smile or a song
When you feel love come
And that feeling’s gone
It flies

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

Ephesians 6:10

Thankful there isn’t a period after strong
