Too Busy?

To add to yesterday, i did get to shoot my bow 36 times at 30 yards, again, i would like to shoot at further distances but i will take it for now. however, the hunting trip is getting close and i need to be shooting longer distances from here on out to help me get better at the shorter distances.

today Zeke and i went to union city, tn to go to a hunting store there that i have heard a lot about. then we went to walmart, then to hulme's sporting goods in paris. then we went to Zeke's dad's house to shoot some skeet. finally i got home and i just had time to shoot my bow 3 rounds (34 shots because i shot the end off of an arrow on the first round). so, i did not get to run today. i was a little bummed out. that means i will have to try and run 3 days in a row, tues, wed, and thurs. 3,5,3 miles respectively. i think i will be able to do it just fine. 3 miles doesn't bother me near what it use to. hopefully the 5 miles in the middle will not put too much of a strain on me. then i will have a break before i have to run 8 miles on saturday.

i have been trying to eat better lately but being on call doesn't help.

here are a few quotes from one of my favorite books, Wild at Heart, by John Eldredge: "Choose the path of humility; don't be a self-promoter, a glad-hander, a poser. Climb down the ladder; ... treat your secretary like she's more important than you; look to be the servant of all." "The world of posers is shaken by a real man. They'll do whatever it takes to get you back in line-threaten you, bribe you, seduce you, undermine you. They crucified Jesus. But it didn't work, did it? You must let your strength show up... Many of us have actually been afraid to let our strength show up because the world doesn't have a place for it. Fine. The world's screwed up. Let people feel the weight of who you are and let them deal with it." these two quotes are almost opposing. but not really. one is saying to be humble to God's people, basically love them all. but at the same time do not let the world judge what is right. you live how God would want you to live, do what God wants you to do. the people who oppose you will probably only get stronger against you. but all of those on the sidelines watching will hopefully see that just because the majority of worldly people says something is the way it should be, doesn't mean that is the right way. remember a quote from a few blogs ago, "even if 4 million people believe in a dumb idea, it is still a dumb idea." so live to love and serve others while maintaining your Christian morals and values and stand up for what you believe is right, no matter how influential or powerful the people against you may be. (i think i sometimes have a way of being over dramatic).
