Beginning

I've wanted to start a blog for some time now, but have not found the impetus to do so.  This morning while on the treadmill listening to a runners podcast, the speaker mentioned that he likes to be able to run joyfully. I love that phrase.

Running joyfully.  I see that in two ways.  I think of the verse from Hebrews which says: "Let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us."  As I journey with Jesus through life, I like to think of it as running joyfully with Jesus.  Not a demand.  Not a law.  Not in the sense of you are not doing good enough.  Run joyfully.  That is how I wish to live my faith.  I hope that others see that in me.

Running joyfully.  I don't know that I will ever win a race.  I don't know that I will ever win many medals in my age category.  But that is not why I run anyway.  I seek to run joyfully.  Not as drudgery.  But enjoy the running.

So this blog will be about running.  Running with Jesus and running for my physical health.
