  • Mom

    My mother-in-law passed away this morning.  It seems weird to me to think that she is gone.  My regret is that I was never comfortable calling her "Mom" like she wanted me to.  I love you, Mom.

  • Relationship

    I know what the people want, because it is what we all want when we are

    suffering the most. We in the West have our hearts and senses

    temporarily dulled by our comforts and entertainment, and we don't

    realize how much we need companionship with our God. We don't understand

    where our deepest joy originates. But when we come to the end of

    ourselves, when our sins and past mistakes overtake us and overwhelm us

    with grief, when there is nothing more we can do to keep our hearts

    alive, we realize how much we need the intimate love of our God. We need

    to be lost in His heart, captivated by the One who will never leave us.

    We need His company, His comfort, His delights. We need to know Him,

    understand His feelings, comprehend how to relate to Him. Our

    relationship with Him is our life, our only life that survives. We love

    much because we have been forgiven much. We utterly, desperately need

    our Savior's love, a love that makes all things new, that redeems

    everything in our hearts, that lights us on fire with everlasting

    romance.

  • Hmmmm...

    My CrossFit trainer wrote this - not sure it's true of me, but I will agree that it is becoming more true of me, the longer I do this CrossFit stuff:

    "So you are wondering what it is that quality that almost all our members have…  That trait that our trainers wish and
    hope that all our trainees have or develop.  That characteristic that supercedes eating knowledge.  The human quality
    that makes a Marine a Marine, a SEAL a SEAL, a champion a champion.  Here it is…the willingness to
    suffer
    .  That mental tenacity that makes you continue on even though your body is screaming to stop.  That
    doggedness that even though you may not be the best, you sure the hell are going to be the last to quit.  That
    willingness to suffer along side others with the same mindset as you.  The best of the best.  Jesus did it for all of us. 
    Soldiers do it so our country remains free.  Police officers do it so our streets are safe.  Parents do it so their children
    remain healthy and happy.  Whether you are fat, skinny, young, old, healthy, or handicapped is irrelevent.  If you have that mental toughness, the willingness to suffer…we want you to be part us.  We are proud of our members."

    We had a bunch of ice, our driveway was like an ice skating rink. It was an adventure just trying to get out of the driveway! But, now it looks like it was never even there! It made it into the high 40's yesterday, and now it's all gone. And I like it! One of the joys of living in Illinois.

    You will get to like the cold , I did 25 years ago when I move to the frozen north from the wonderful shores of NC. Keep the chin up camper it only gets better , Maybe you need to crack the wipe on that man and make him clean the house while you play.
