Last night (Jan 4) involved opening some belated Christmas presents, including this Javelin.
If you’ve never experienced Grace and Mercy, it won’t make sense to you until you experience it first hand. It probably will take multiple times for you to experience and comprehend it’s consistency. Grace and Mercy never fail in restoring a troubled soul.
Dear Son, i hope yesterday’s experience (completing your first half-mile run) adds the one experience that helps you reach your tipping point – that you are now convinced, from enough personal experience.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for getting my attention in a profound way yesterday – the epiphany has brought solace and healing to my troubled spirit.
As i was sharing more of the story about John W Jolin’s desire to have me pay $7,500 for an absolutely (in my opinion) correctable, innocent, and microscopic error, i caught myself using unflattering language to describe John Jolin.
And then hours later, Gracious and Merciful Father, you revealed my sin in such a beautiful, simple, and loving way.
Even though i was talking privately to our Son (15), i was projecting the very same hurtful, uncalled for, irrational, and emotionally-biased opinions on John that he has been riddle with on the Internet for four years.
Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive me for thinking, saying, or doing anything that was avoidable or misguided. Instead loving Father, please cleanse my soul and fill me with unconditional forgiveness for John.
He is only doing what he believes in his heart is his duty to Linda’s Lyrics.
While i do not wish to pay $1,500 – the fee John has generously agreed to compromise on – i will gladly do it if it brings you honor. And even if it doesn’t seem to bring you honor publicly, it brings you honor privately, knowing that one of your children (me) has grown in the Holy Spirit of your likeness.

The iPhone 3GS was the most advanced device ever. It is the one he’ll receive to replace his water-damaged iPhone 6.
Grace is granting favor to the undeserving. Most of the time, the grantor’s generosity is taken for granted. This is the true test of their (the grantor’s) belief system.

After my 800 meter race yesterday at 9am, my next event (1500) wouldn’t be until tonight (yes, a day later) at 8pm. The relief of running one event pain free was satisfying enough to not need more races.
The heat advisory was well above normal. Not a fan of evening running. Plus the threat of late afternoon thunderstorms.
Quickly decided to pack it up and head back toDisney home.
But would the Marriott allow for an early check out?
Explained things to Franz at the front desk, who explained that i would be obligated for the charge whether i stayed or not.
