Finishing Well
Today I did something I really never thought I’d do: I “retired” from running. What does that mean? Well, it really means that, for the foreseeable future, I will no longer be enrolling in races like this. The above certificate is from the Plaza 10K event in Kansas City, Missouri. This was my second time…

I Speak Jesus
This blog has been a few years in the works… since even before I had this blog. The Lord finally gave me the release to write it, so we get to see how this goes together. My brother and I grew up in a Christian household. Our parents got saved when we were both very…

You’ll Always Be…
I know I’ve talked about my bestest friend, Esther, before, and I’m sure you all remember. We started going to our church’s Bible school at the same time and sat next to each other on the first day. She forgot her Bible and was called on to read a passage. I passed her my Bible…

Be Careful…
I might be lying if I said I never post in an emotional state, but this one feels like a “breach of protocol” in a way because my ire isn’t specifically directed at myself. Someone else is involved in the emotions. So I will try not to lay blame or do anything like name-call (though…

Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business. Last year Erica would wonder how much “quitting” was actually had… Speaking of Last Year Erica… I was thinking about a year ago today. I remember how tired and…
