The Best Beginning to any Adventure is when we discover our brokenness.

He knows not is own strength that hath not met adveristy - Ben Jonson, English dramatist.  I thought when I suffered complete and utter defeat in every area of my life, that my life would never be good again.  In fact, the good just got started! 

Life is a Daring Adventure...

Circumstances - People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.  I don't believe in circumstances.  The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for cirucmstances they want and make them. - George Bernard Shaw.  I run, I swim and I cycle to take part in the adventure of life - sometinmes I like it and that is good.  Sometimes I don't like it and that is even better!!

A New Day and A New Week

"We can do anything for just one day. So, just for today, let us be unafraid, unafraid of life,unafraid of death, which is the shadow of life; unafraid to be happy, unafraid to enjoy the beautiful, to believe the best.

 

Just for today let us live one day only, forgetting yesterday and tomorrow, and not trying to solve the whole problem of life at one.

Adventures in Mracles

The spiritual part of my life is like trying to describe the wet part of the wave...it is all a miracle.  I believe what Einstein said - "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”

Run for Gua Africa

August begins the month of brotherly and sisterly love and the month when my Run for Gua Africa begins in earnest. I have been preparing for almost a year for the Chicago Marathon and the Run for Gua Africa. We lose to win. Never Give Up. Never Give In. These are the motto's of Emmanuel Jal and my mantra at this race.
