Genesis 18:16-19:38 -
Abraham - Suppose there is only 1 good person, what then?
God - Holy cow man!
...umm...that's weird. Careful with these Chapters.
Matthew 6:25-7:14 - Don't waste what is holy on the unholy...uhh, wait.
Psalm 8:1-9- Nice little song
Proverbs 2:6-15 - More of the same as last post.
I've been running for sport since I was in 7th grade. I don't know if you can call it "for sport" any more, more like "for to keep off the fat." But there are these cool races that make running fun again. They go by different names, but essentially, they are all the same. They're an obstacle course 5K with a mud pit and fire somewhere along the way. The one that my friends and I have done in the past is called Rugged Maniac. Again, mud and fire, but then there's a free beer at the end (yay!). I did one with my cousin-in-law (check out his blog) called the Warrior Dash, which is almost exactly the same (mud, fire, beer) but they encourage you to dress up in costumes and the best dressed gets a prize. I know, it sounds a little crazy, but they are really fun, especially if you run with a group of friends and don't try to kill yourself attempting to be the first across the finish line. Here are some pictures of the races I have done.

These little races are really fun and I plan on continuing to do them as long as my body allows. Here's the crazy part. I was stalking facebook the other day and came across an advertisement for on these type races. This particular race is called the "Spartan Race." Apparently the difference between this "brand" versus others is that you do all the things the other races offer, but these guys have people set up along the way to tackle you, punch you, throw stuff at you, tell you that you suck, all kinds of uplifting things. There are also three tiers to the Spartan Races. There is the lowest that is a 5K, middle that is a 10K, and the highest that is a 72-hour "run." They advertise that only 2% finish the top tier race. Anyway, the advertisement on Fb said that they (Spartan Race) were looking for a few good runners to participate in a reality TV show that would "make surviver look like Mickey Mouse." Naturally, I thought, that sounds fun! I emailed the guy this: "I want to make the whole world look like Mickey Mouse." Not sure why, because these races are STUPID hard, especially when I'd have to run it by myself. But, I got an email back and figured out that in order to get in, you have to have votes (go figure). The group of people with the highest amounts of votes gets to go on National TV and compete. So... here's the link. If you could go vote, I'd appreciate it a lot (although, my wife isn't too thrilled and would rather you not). And spread the word to people that you know that I don't :)
Until next time, dear readers...
