Last night at Bible study we talked about absolutes and why it is that our culture today is so opposed to them. There is the expected answer that "you can't justify certain behaviors when you have absolutes." But the conclusion of our discussion came down to blaming Christians. Christians today are weak. In general, most Christians in the U.S. ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is the Day of Reckoning. The dreaded NCLEX! And I'm sure all my friends and family will be relieved when it's over (that is IF I pass). I don't believe I have been the most lovely person to be around lately which I really do feel badly about. I guess it's partly because I feel like this is the "start" of my life and I'm not real sure I'm ( Read more... )

ME , the not so flattering race photo

ME again running with my eyes closed, or so it appears.

That race was beyond disappointing. I could have done that time back in April!!! How is it that I ran 4 miles in 35 minutes over a month ago but when I run a 4 mile race, it took me 38 minutes??!!!!

Hoping that these few days of vacation for my legs will allow me to come back stronger in my running. Only 12.5 miles in the running bank for this week...puke. Had been hoping on 30. Maybe I won't be able to take it anymore and I will get up early tomorrow and put in 10 for a total of 22.5. I've been waking up with butterflies in my stomach a ( Read more... )

Itching, itching, itching to go for a run right now!!!! But I won't, I won't, I won't!!!
