Hot Hot Hot!

The heat is on!  Just came back from a 9-10 mile run in the trails! Beautiful out there and to add to that, my band (husband!) woke up early this morning and joined me on his bike the whole time as an act of love.  It's the first long run he's ever gone on with me and it was nice to have him serve as my First Aid, Security, and GPS.  Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to run in the trails without him because I don't run in the trails alone. If I hadn't run in the trails, I would have seriously melted or drowned from sweat by mile 3. So props to my man for being extra supportive.  

I really enjoyed raving about some of my favorite things last month, so I think I'll have to continue that in future blogs.  Before I do, there is something that I really got a kick out of last month. I was about to toss it out, but it was too funny not to share.  

Last month as I mentioned, I went to one of my good friend's bash, I mean wedding!  Anyways, when I got to the hotel, they apparently could not find my reservation.  Why? I guess the person I reserved my room with couldn't hear me. Not only did they mess up my address, but they totally screwed up my name!  "Tongue"?  At least they could have spelled it "Tung" considering that was the bride's name.  Gotta love homonyms right? The hotel was beautiful by the way!

Saturday Raves!

Now that it's Saturday, you have some more time to pay attention to the neat things I write about on this blog.  I have a number of things to rave about, but here's just one for now.  

1. Forgotten God by Francis Chan - I've only finished Chapter 2, but thus far I've found this book to be very intriguing, challenging, and full of truth.  In all my days in the Christian community, I feel like I've never really learned much about the Holy Spirit.  If the HS is part of the trinity, I figure he must be pretty important, but I always assumed the HS was simply a synonym for "God" and "Jesus". Isn't it?  This book begs to differ and is really challenging me to see that the reality of God on earth is really seen through the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is literally with us and in us helping to guide me, counsel me and walk with me each step of my day.  He nudges me and if I listen, He surely can bear the fruit in our lives that we need to see more in Christians.
