Amazingly ... http://whereiam.blogsome.com/2008/09/06/let-it-go/ As I have mentioned before running typically hasn’t been my favorite past time. However, over the course of time I have come to tolerate it kind of like pretzles. So for me to volunteer to run in this relay was a stretch for me.

The magnitude ... http://whereiam.blogsome.com/2008/08/01/anniversary-of-the-bridge-collapse/ The past week has been crazy. I have moved every single year since I have been back in MN at least once a year - I think the move count is up to 5; which includes the move to MN. So last night at about 12:30 when Shelly ... http://whereiam.blogsome.com/2008/07/31/why-isnt-anything-open/ Today I feel a little reflective about my brothers: Craig and Joel.

That may not seem like any earth shattering revelation but honestly, I know I’m supposed to trust God but how many times do I find myself worrying ... http://whereiam.blogsome.com/2008/07/13/do-you-trust-me/ I am so irritated with this infatuation over Mike Huckabee. Granted a majority of the reason Huckabee has soared from “nowhere” is that he is the current media darling, he favors a flat tax which sounds good, and he’s fairly conservative on a lot of social issues. However, ... http://whereiam.blogsome.com/2008/01/04/the-case-against-mike-huckabee/ I just finished reading two powerful books.
