October 9-12

I ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill on Saturday. It was very warm in the house causing my wife to mention how much I smell LOL! Then I ran again this morning and it was heavenly. First off Jack Frost visited and the ground had a slight coating of white. The air was cool as the dog and I left the house at 5:30 for our outing of 3 miles. The stars overhead shown brightly displaying the glory of the Lord's creation. Orion, the Big Dipper, & Casciopia brilliantly postured themselves among countless other astronomical lights above. It seemed as if God was somehow close around me in the darkened light before morning. At His prompting I turned my ipod off and ran towards his wonder. Praying as I went I marveled that he had given this special morning to me, to be with Him, to commune with Him as friend. Prayer came easily and I hardly felt tired as we returned to the house. Thank you Lord for your love, friendship, and forgiveness.


Add: 5.5 miles & 120 push ups if anyone cares (PR for consecutive ones)
