Saturday morning's warm and humid 11+ miler was one of the better regular runs--absent a prescribed workout or preset agenda--in a long time. I ran relaxed, felt strong and had FUN--including singing "Lift High the Cross" during the 8th mile @ 6:07. Yes, I feel sorry for those @ White Rock Lake in Dallas, TX that heard my out of tune voice...lol.
Tuesday evening in Kearney, Nebraska, my sister received a bone cancer diagnosis that reminds me to appreciate every moment of health and to fully apply our God given talents. It's easy to take life and health for granted when healthy.
Additionally, adversity forces us to choose between hiding our candle under a bushel by dwelling on the doom and gloom of bad news or to let our light shine before men (Mt 5:13, 14-15, 16), glorifying God by focusing on the Lord Jesus Christ and the life, hope and peace found in Christ alone from the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Yes, once again warm and humid weather greeted us Dallas runners Saturday morning, yet I focused on the joy in Christ and the gifts of life, family, friends, health and running.
