Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
The blessing of forgiveness and eternal life is incomprehensible.
It’s a feeling similar to the one we experience when we try to fathom everything our body is capable of doing and how sophisticated, yet fragile, it is.
However the privilege, and responsibility to maintain it is NOT incomprehensible.
We know this.

The people at the gym who inspire me the most are in two categories.
People older than 50.
People who look desperate to become active.
Many of the over-50 demographic were once the latter, desperate to get (and stay) well.
In 1999, i was desperate.
My college roommate, Skip Gaskill, offers insight and encouragement. Skip’s challenging you to do the same. Take it away Skip:
Have you ever seen an obese person out jogging or walking in an unquestionable attempt to get control of their health?
If you did what did you do? Did you say anything? Did you smirk or make a fat joke?
Or did you go out of your way to encourage them to keep up the fight?
Next time you see someone like this (hopefully while you are out exercising as well) tell them the following:
Congratulations! You’re doing great! Keep up the good fight and never quit!
You might buy them another quarter mile or uplift their spirit enough to help them finish what they started.
Who knows…you might even feel better about yourself.
Happy Easter.
If you don’t celebrate Easter, may I please wish you Joy in whatever makes you happy. Diversity is what makes the world so special. Thank you for respecting my beliefs as much as I respect yours.
Today is a day of rest, from training, and hopefully, from working.
Carpe diem. Dream big, get there and most importantly of all, stay there. That’s the ticket. Staying at your goal. jeff 🙂
Of the many blessings we have, being alive is at the top of my list.
Well, almost.
You mean being alive isn’t at the top of your list?
No, not at the very top. It’s second, I think.
At the very top is the fact that Jesus died to save the world. Whether you believe this or not, doesn’t change the fact that I believe it.
And, the fact that I believe it, doesn’t mean if you believe otherwise, that I think you are wrong. Who the heck am I to judge someone else? No one.
Being in a world where diversity of thought and belief, is valued and respected, is also at the top of my list.
Told you all of that to tell you this. Today’s run was a blessing. Literally pain free. I believe God may want me to keep going on this impossible journey to make it to the finals at August’s World Championships.
Count your blessings. Never give up. Respect others. Love your neighbor. Do something great. Inspire others by the courage of your own example. Carpe diem, jeff 🙂
