Good morning. Just returned from run. I ran the 1.6 miles in 25:10, due in part to the bunny that I saw and I stopped to talk to. I had a pretty good weekend. I am always thankful for the weekends but especially when I am on the cycle. It is when, if you are willing, you can do extra. I was thinking while I ran about what I "gave up" this weekend. I don't know that I can call them sacrifices or maybe I should. My best girlfriend asked me to go to the movie "God's Not Dead" with her and another friend but I told her that I was really hyper focused on doing some requirements and that I couldn't go. Sacrifice? I don't know. I went to church yesterday morning but did not go back last night to work with the Jr. Youth. Instead I stayed home and worked on requirements. Another sacrifice? Well, Webster defines sacrifice as the act of giving up something that you want to keep especially in order to get or do something else or to help someone. In that sense maybe I did sacrifice but I believe it will be worth it. No, those were not earth shaking sacrifices, however, they were important to me and the others involved. And for that I said thank you to Joyce for understanding and to Sandy for leading the Jr.Youth without me the next 2 weeks and for their continued love and support.
