Hmm I think that I may have a double somewhere

So I know there have been people that look like me. Caedmon's call had a drummer that looked like me, I had a fellow student at UofD who looked like me, and recently there was a gentleman who attended Brandywine who friends of mine frequently mistook for me and would go up to say hi and figure out it was not me. However I have never had someone who had the same name as me. Yet that someone exists and he likes to hike. Apparently I have lost 7-8 years, and thus I am 21-22 again, I went to Corban college and I have hiked in Utah and Washington State...anyway check it out my name appears in the trips for Utah and to Washington.

Christmas and nutrition

So I know when I think of Christmas and food I do not normally think of eating healthy. It is not that I do not want to but with all the Christmas diners and goodies it is very hard to eat in such a way that I will not gain pounds. However one department in the hospital that I would think would give out goodies that are healthy is the nutrition department....well because they should be concerned with the nutrition of their staff and maybe try to fight all bad calories out there. So as i am buying my breakfast there is a bowl of candy canes and a sign that read, "Please take one, compliments of the nutrition staff". I laughed and thought of the irony and of course took one. Ah well better eating comes in one week.....

Incidentally has anyone tried to find Christmas candy at Happy Harry's A Walgreen's Pharmacy?!? Good luck....so glad I am out...so many ways Walgreen's keeps making eaiser to go elsewhere

Running the race

So usually when you see these words or hear someone talk about them you think of Paul and his writing to the people of Corinth, Phillipi, or Galatia. However in an article on ESPN, ( http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=streakrun ) that is about people called streak runners or those who run for years on end every day regardless of weather, injury etc., running the race take on a different meaning. In some way that is admirable. Pual writes in Galatians that we are to beat our body and make it our slave so as to not be disqualified in the race that is this life. And I know that I am not the best at keeping my body in shape and that is something I need to work on. However it seems that these people have instead become a slave to their running and not the other way around. I just think of how they actually have to schedule their lives around running instead of running around their lives and shudder. And yet realizing that is exactly what I should be doing with my time with God. That I should be scheduling my life around the times I spend with him and not the other way around.
