That’s just how I feel about gardening. If I can still make things grow everything is right in the world and I’m right with God.

It is so weird that you have the exact same thoughts about running that I do. I don’t really do it for sport. It’s a spiritual thing. It’s nature. It’s listening to my body and to God. It’s talking to myself….working things out.

Talking about joy, lately the verse that has been repeating itself in my head is “the joy of the Lord is my strength”. The simplicity of strength is what struck me about that. My strength is simply found in the joy of the Lord. Sounds so easy.

Keep running, Shelley! I just ran tonight! I praise God continually as I watch my shadow run beside me. I have legs!! And they can run! I’m so grateful!

Love you!

Let me know when you want to run with me on the trails by our house some morning or late afternoon. It will be fun! (Way better than the gym!)

Good. As Red Riding Hood says in Into the Woods, nice is different from good. Sometimes good isn’t nice, but it’s still good.

I also like your description of it as focused but loose.
