Today's morning devotion was good with my wife. It talked about salvation how we are born in sin, but if we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth we shall be saved. Once we have salvation in our heart then the love can flow out of us.

Today, the temperature was 12 degrees with a little bit of a wind. I ran 10.31 miles at an overall 6:52 pace in 1:10. I seemed to be increasing my miles a bit. Really I'm just going with the flow on what I feel like doing each day. Tomorrow I have a early morning meeting at my daughter's school dealing with her learning disability "NLD", so I might only be able to run a couple of miles.

I was training to analyze my year of training to get an idea what I want out of this year, and here's my thoughts and situation:

This year is going to be hard for training, because I have so many early morning meetings at work, (three meetings every week with no ending) and I can't run on my lunch hour, because I work on my lunch hour for my wife's daycare now. I'm not going to get up any earlier to run, because the early morning devotion with my wife is more important to me than running which I'd quit running if I even thought this. Even if I wanted to get up earlier I wouldn't run outside, and Gold Gym (where my membership is) doesn't open until 6am. I believe this will have to be a year of step back and I'll be out of the scene for a while.

Now things can change and if they do I will re-evaluate my situation, and would be able to train harder. I will train hard with what I have available to do as far as my schedule is right now.

12 degrees. I think i would have a hard time getting motivated to get out. I look at my schedule and i work from 7 am to 9 pm mon-fri. It is hard to train with such a schedule. I realize i will never be an elite runner so i need to train smarter.

Being Born is sin? When you look at your children and you contemplate their birth. Do really think they are capable of sinning?

That's some long hours Bill. I would see how you would have a hard time training. I'll never become an elite other. My work is getting to be more commitment than before so I understand.

That's why Jesus died on the cross for our sins so that when our children are old enough that can ask for forgiveness. We can be a nice person our whole life, but if we don't ask Jesus to come into our heart we can't make heaven our home.

I can honestly look at my child and know they are born in sin and someday will need to ask the Lord to come into their heart. Hopefully, I direct them and plan a seed in them to do so.

This is my belief and if you differ not a problem. I just try to follow what the bible says. Here's some verses

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother

conceive me."

Psalms 51:5, KJV

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Romans 3:23, KJV

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and

death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all

have sinned:"

Romans 5:12, KJV

"Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together

with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)"

Ephesians 2:5, KJV

"Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall

seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot

come . . . I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in

your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die

in your sins."

John 8:21, 24, KJV

Kory, It is good that you spend time to think about what you believe and share that time with your wife. It is also good to step back and keep examining your running. I think too many people, myself included, just do something because it is what they do not because it is what they should do. Good luck on all fronts.

From jtshad on Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 10:34:44

Kory, some good reflective evaluation. You are just in a different stage of your life now and you must continually evaluate what has priority and adjust your time and expecations accordingly. Good luck with your new focus and God bless.

BTW, I still hope to see you blog once in a while and let's keep in touch by phone.

From wheakory on Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 12:32:07

Adam RW - Thanks. Sometimes life passes so fast that you can get your priorities out of focus. I needed a good tune-up on my life.

Jeff - Thanks Jeff. This year is going to be whatever it is for God, not for whatever it is for me. I'm positive I won't be running too many races this year.
