A Question

Is it possible to have two vocations? Maybe I'm being silly, maybe I'm not. Truth is, one of my vocations is calling, so the other must sit quietly and wait. I have more to say, but I have to enter grades!

Saved

God sends us little messages all the time. The trick is to listen.

Carol kept appearing in my line of vision. Haven't seen her since last summer, but, all of a sudden, there she was! She was on my blog. She was at the pizza joint. She was on the sidewalk, blocking the way of my morning walk!

Carol and I ran together yesterday. It was a God-send...a real one! (Thanks, Carol!)

Sunshine. Birds. Daffodils. Open windows. Running!

Better make it official, before I forget.

As I Said

Earlier I suggested that all my running friends join in this effort. Not kidding! You can do it. Here's how: You can drum up your sponsorships and inform the sponsors about the Running for Haiti blog and CRS donation site (see the right hand side of this blog page!). You will let me know your mileage, and I will post it with mine on this page as your miles. For example, a few entries ago, my daughter sent me a message saying she had run for me that day. Now, in reality, she did not tell me how far, nor did she say she was actually donating to the cause (i.e. collecting sponsor dollars), but let's pretend she did. I'm going to say she ran 1 mile, for the example. I'll show you how I will indicate that at the end of this entry...note that I would also update the "total miles", should I receive real miles from friends, but I won't update it for this example.

Make sense?

If not, drop me a line.

(Liz: 3 miles)
(Molly: 1 mile...for example)

If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never spent time in a dark room with a mosquito.

Exactly.

Conversations Too

So, I was trying to figure out what I was passionate about this week. What did I work extra hard on? What did I sing with heart and soul?

I had a couple of glasses of wine and watched a movie the other evening. At the end of the movie, I wanted to change my life. ...that always happens with a glass of wine. I watched a ton of Olympics, read a few more chapters in my book, attended a Religious Education class. Not mind blowing, but interesting.

Then a friend and I spoke about the floating island of garbage in the Pacific Ocean, which I had just described to my students at school. And my friend innocently said, "It's just too big. There's nothing we can do."

What if we all did something? What if we each did one thing? What if that? Get up!
