It has been awhile since I have 'popped' into my blog account; it takes discipline and intention to keep this thing going.
We have now entered 2012, the last Mayan calendar year which of course means the world is going to end, right? I hardly think the God of the universe is controlled by the Mayan calendar and any link between the Mayans and the rapture would only be coincidental. Many 'predictions' have been announced of Jesus' return only to end up a mockery at the cost of true faith.
This is also a presidential election year which depending on the decision made in November it could feel as if the world is coming to an end for some. Television viewers have been accosted by candidate ads filled with lies, half truths and inflated, egocentric claims all at the expense of our valuable time. I have not set my eye on any one candidate but am left to wonder if this will come down to electing the evil we don't know rather than the evil we do know and have experienced. I often wonder if Americans choose comfort and apathy over freedoms and morality when it comes to choosing a president. I am not only talking of sexual morality, but of financial morality, truthful morality and leadership morality if such things do exist.
On a personal level I have undergone my own transformation and have embarked on the Couch to 5k training program. My doctor said get in shape and so now I am working on chiseling it out and have two goals set for the new year. Goal one is to run 2 miles by the end of spring without killing myself and goal two is to run the Warrior Dash in August with my sister-in-law. I do not plan on running to win but on running to acquire the t-shirts!
