Pieces of My Mind

While searching around youtube this morning, I found this video. It is incredibly inspiring and is an amazing example of redefining what is impossible. I hope you enjoy it as well.   Tweet

I have found that many of the new Calvinists simply are not aware there are any viable alternatives to their newfound doctrinal faith. Through reading books by their favorite pastors and teachers, many of them are convinced that all alternatives– and especially the dreaded “Arminianism”– are man-centered, biblically unsupported, and intellectually weak. Almost all alternatives [...]

This infographic from Frugal Dad says a lot. When I first found out I was pregnant, I thought I needed a lot of “stuff” too, but once TB came, I realized just how little I needed beyond a few favorite items and my breasts. (h/t to The Mom: Informed for sharing on Facebook)     [...]

I have had this written for quite some time and for some reason never came back to add the picture and hit post. I apologize for that. Outer Banks Marathon November 13, 2011 Pre-race: The marathon start time was an odd 7:20 am, so I woke up around 5:30 to eat my steel cut oats [...]

I am generally not in the business of minding other people’s business. However, there are times in life when I look at the responses of others and wonder what is going on. Allow me to explain my latest experience. Like many others, I ordered a light table from Constructive Playthings.  I saw it advertised on [...]

Have you ever had one of those moments after being sick where you think to yourself “I am back!”? That was me on the track Wednesday. Sure, the intervals felt good, but on the last lap of the last mile in the workout, I was on the backside of the track feeling strong when I [...]

As a part of my Running for Others adventure, I have decided to write a brief summary here each week plus some fun stats. While I was sick, I was forced not to run. Those of you who enjoy running and/or know me know that this was a challenge for me.  I seriously recorded ZERO [...]
