“My biggest fear is that I’ll get to heaven and hear Jesus say that there was so much more he had for me to do. I don’t want to miss it.” My sweet friend sat across from me as we discussed what God was saying to us on retreat. I paused for a moment. Something …
Portia and I became FB friends after I read a bit of her story in Runner’s World and found out she was local. I knew immediately that I wanted her to guest blog for me! Fast forward to the Disney World Marathon where I cheered on many amazing women who ran with Black Girls Run …
Crazy busy around here right now. We’re gearing up for Holy Week and since my day job is as a pastor at a large church (not the main pastor, just a helper pastor;) that means lots of hours and lots of hectic. Yes, it will be joyous and yes, if you’re one of those who …

A few days ago, I wrote a letter to myself. Not myself now, but the self that headed out on that first, crazy intimidating, totally scary FIRST run. Over on the FB page, I asked other runners to do the same. I hope to post them here on the blog with the hope that they …
