So supposedly I'm running a half marathon in Big Sur this coming Sunday. Supposedly the views are outrageous and just scream of God's glory. Pretttty pumped about this...assuming I make it all 13.1 miles without getting picked up.
Anywho, today I don't have to go into work for another half hour so I have had the morning to get stuff done. I figured a run mightttt be a good life choice. I'll be honest, I'm a little bit over the whole "running because I have to so I make it through this race" deal. Today though, I knew I had no other option. Anyone who runs, knows just like most things in life, some days are just bad and some days you are just "on it". I had my iPod, was dressed warm, laced up the Nikes, and just hauled down Peachtree. There.was.not.a.cloud.in.the.sky. The fact that my chest was experiencing the brutality of the wind was irrelevant. Running by myself is usually not my forte, but today was awesome. I enjoyed just reveling in God's glory. I'm guilty of taking advantage of things like running through an amazing city on the perfect day. Today, I was made aware of how selfish that is. What a privilege!! This run, that I really had to talk myself into, turned into just good ol' time with Jesus. God's good like that.
If I can find Him amidst the hustle and bustle of Atlanta traffic and Lenox Mall, I'm banking on straight goodness when I run the coast of Monterrey this weekend.
Hope you too, can revel in His glory today. It's all around, just up to us for the taking.
I'm off to carbo-load. (Not really, gotta go to the studio but I wanted to sound like a disciplined and hardcore runner)
Big Love,
Kenz
P.S.
Mama...Hope you are geared up to hand out jelly beans.
Daddy...Hope you have your master race-chasing skillz fine tuned.
Shel...I'm banking on your smile and hilariousness to get me through this thing.
Tripp...Will you run a part of it with me again, this time? Please?
And to my 2 partners in crime... Austin-I know you will probably run ahead since you have trained hardcore... but it would be more fun if you wouldn't because I'll need your comic relief. Patrick...I ran fast today so that I can keep up with your gazelle-like stride. KMSMMB. Glad we get to dominate the Cali coast together!

WHAT YOU MUST DO TO BE SAVED
ReplyDeleteTo be saved, you must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31).
However, that's not all. Sacred Scripture clearly shows other things you must also do to be saved:
• You must endure to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13.
• You must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27.
• You must be baptized with water. Mark 16:16, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21.
• You must be a member in God's true church. Acts 2:47.
• You must confess your sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9.
• You must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21.
• You must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7.
• You must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16, I Corinthians 11:23-29.
• Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to His call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life. CCC 1996, John 1:12-18, John 17:3, Romans 8:14-17, 2 Peter 1:3-4.
The only Church that meets all the requirements of Salvation is the Holy Catholic Church.
