Morning Walk…

Merry Christmas Eve.  It’s a cold one in Kannapolis, NC today.  I slept in until 5:30 am today as the past few days of <6 hours sleep per night begins to take a toll.  It would have been much later except that Jack woke me to help him find a bathroom.

Today, my body was sending every signal it could to my brain that this was just not worth it and I needed to return to the house as soon as possible.  Everything (muscles, bones, ligaments) was in pain including my lungs from the cold air.  I recalled the article on PUSH that I just published the other day and encouraged myself to continue.  Within the first .25 mile, everything had changed.  It was amazing.  Everything in my body felt as though it was actually “craving” the walk, pushing me to continue.

Took a slightly different route today.  

 

12 Days of What?

My brother has this on his blog, but I know that many of you will most likely not make it there…so enjoy.

Floating Holiday

The year is almost up and I have yet to take my floating holiday, so today is the day.  It was not planned, but definitely needed.  Sort of wish I were floating on this boat instead of floating working on pre-Christmas tasks and other pressing issues.

Rosh Hashanah

     Happy Rosh Hashanah!

I am taking the day off to celebrate Rosh Hashanah.  Yes, I know that it is not exactly the typically celebrated holiday for a multi-generational pentecostal.  There is much to why I am celebrating it that will require further explanations that I am not willing to take time and do now…so just wait.

In the meantime, Cheryl and I are dropping off Hannah, Jack and Liberty with Dalena this afternoon so we can spend some time in prayer and meditation regarding the upcoming year with an overall emphasis on making it a day of rest.
